The Molecular Basis of Memory: Tracking mRNA in Brain Cells in Real Time

http://www.einstein.yu.edu - Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine developed a mouse model in which molecules crucial to making memories (beta-actin mRNA) were given fluorescent "tags" so they could be tracked. This clip shows them traveling within a live brain cell in real time. Video Credit: Credit: Hye Yoon Park, Ph.D. Read news release: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/news/relea...
