The Coordination of Local Translation, Membranous Organelle Trafficking, and Synaptic Plasticity in Neurons

Neurons are highly complex polarized cells, displaying an extraordinary degree of spatial compartmentalization. At presynaptic and postsynaptic sites, far from the cell body, local protein synthesis is utilized to continually modify the synaptic proteome, enabling rapid changes in protein production...
