Scientists have mapped out an importin-based pathway that enables neurons to maintain synaptic plasticity and spatial memory despite their unusually elongated shape. Learn more in #ScienceSignaling: scim.ag/4qIJWTi

Subcellular depletion of importin β1 impairs presynaptic local translation and spatial memory
Axonal localization of importin β1 is required for presynaptic functions that support spatial memory tasks.
