Changes in hippocampal synapses and learning-memory abilities in a streptozotocin-treated rat model and intervention by using fasudil hydrochloride
2012, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Several functions, including the regulation of adhesion, control of receptor clustering, and regulation of receptor function, have been proposed for this structure (Siekevits, 1985). It is composed of various proteins, including microtubulin, actin, and fibronin; receptors; enzymes; and secondary messenger systems (Matus, 1981). When some of these molecules are phosphorylated (which alters molecule configuration and, in turn, thickness in the PSD), the functional activity of synapses is inevitably affected (Cohen, 1977).
