Best and Worst of Neuroscience and Neurology – July 2016

Source: http://brainblogger.com/2016/08/13/best-and-worst-of-neuroscience-and-neurology-july-2016/

Hundreds of articles published this month further advanced our knowledge of neuroscience. Lots of new discoveries published in July relate to some of the most fundamental processes in the brain that shape our daily life, as well as to the practical problems doctors have to deal with on a regular basis. The selection of articles presented here reflects my personal opinion about their importance – there were many more interesting articles that simply could not be covered by this short review.

In the beginning of July, scientific community marked the birthday of Alfred Gilman, who received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his work on G-proteins. These days, the description of G-proteins and their functions can be found in every textbook on physiology and neurology, as they are heavily involved in the processes of intercellular communication. Even in this review G-proteins are mentioned in relation to some recent findings.
