Effects of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on Cognitive Functions in Healthy Young and Older Adults.

abstract：:Proper density and morphology of dendritic spines are important for higher brain functions such as learning and memory. However, our knowledge about molecular mechanisms that regulate thedevelopment and maintenance of dendritic spines is limited. We recently reported that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is required f...
