AKT is a central kinase implicated by genetics in neurological disorders and diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and glioblastoma. AKT also regulates numerous intracellular signaling pathways affecting a myriad of neuronal processes, such as protein synthesis dependent synaptic plasticity. [See Full Description]

What they do How do neurons in neocortex work in concert to encode the natural world, construct a representation of its behaviorally relevant content, and coordinate behavior based on those representations? This is a complex problem that we are addressing in multiple ways, with an interdisciplinary and comparative approach.

Learning to fear threats in the environment is critical for survival, but often leads to mental illnesses including PTSD. Once learned, traumatic memories can be suppressed—though this is often short-lived. New work reveals how brain circuits that make and break traumatic memories function to regulate fear and its relapse.
