... avoid depression while benefiting from the immune boosting effects of cytokine treatments. This summer, they started a series of experiments on mice, whose immune responses are similar to those in humans, to show how cytokine treatment causes serotonin depletion. The work is funded by a newly awarded $1.7 m......eptors are then inserted into the plasma membrane, boosting reception of memory-making information. Based on those findings, the Brown and Duke team investigated another question: What if recycling endosomes carried more than AMPA receptors? In additional experiments with fluorescent dye and rat neurons, the ...
