mTOR signalling contributes to motor skill learning in mice

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is a critical regulator of mRNA translation and is suspected to be involved in various long lasting forms of synaptic and behavioural plasticity. However, its role in motor learning and control has never been examined. This study investigated, in mice,...
