• MicroRNA Regulation of the Synaptic Plasticity-Related Gene Arc 

      Wibrand, Karin; Pai, Balagopal; Siripornmongcolchai, Taweeporn; Bittins, Margarethe; Berentsen, Birgitte; Ofte, May Lillian; Weigel, Arwed; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Bramham, Clive R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-07-26)
      Expression of activity-regulated cytoskeleton associated protein (Arc) is crucial for diverse types of experience-dependent synaptic plasticity and long-term memory in mammals. However, the mechanisms governing Arc-specific ...
    • NMDA receptor-dependent regulation of miRNA expression and association with Argonaute during LTP in vivo 

      Pai, Balagopal; Siripornmongcolchai, Taweeporn; Berentsen, Birgitte; Pakzad, Ashraf; Vieuille, Christel Marie; Pallesen, Ståle; Pajak, Maciej; Simpson, T. Ian; Armstrong, J. Douglas; Wibrand, Karin; Bramham, Clive R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-13)
      microRNAs (miRNAs) are major regulators of protein synthesis in the brain. A major goal is to identify changes in miRNA expression underlying protein synthesis-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term ...
    • The RNA-Binding Protein hnRNP K Mediates the Effect of BDNF on Dendritic mRNA Metabolism and Regulates Synaptic NMDA Receptors in Hippocampal Neurons 

      Leal, Graciano; Comprido, Diogo; de Luca, Pasqualino; Morais, Eduardo; Rodrigues, Luís; Mele, Miranda; Santos, Ana R.; Costa, Rui O.; Pinto, Maria Joana; Patil, Sudarshan; Berentsen, Birgitte; Afonso, Pedro; Carreto, Laura; Li, Ka Wan; Pinheiro, Paulo; Almeida, Ramiro D.; Santos, Manuel A. S.; Bramham, Clive R.; Duarte, Carlos B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)
      Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important mediator of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. The local effects of BDNF depend on the activation of translation activity, which requires the ...
