The Brain Conference: Neuronal Protein Synthesis Mechanisms in Health and Disease

The regulation of protein synthesis is essential for neuronal function, including synaptic transmission and plasticity. The regulation of protein synthesis is essential for proper synaptic function and to allow proteome remodeling. Many of the same regulatory nodes that are used to regulate normal neuronal protein synthesis are likely affected during disease states, resulting in dysfunctional proteostasis and synaptic dysfunction. These key topics will be discussed at the upcoming Brain Conference.
