Grant Activity:
Investigating myristic acid as key mediator of memory via myristoylation
Purpose:
Despite the fact the that human brain is made of nearly 60 percent fat, the vast majority of studies on the mechanism of memory and neurodegeneration primarily focused on protein and genetic changes. Here, we discovered that myristic acid production derived from brain cell phospholipids correlates with memory acquisition. Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and super-resolution microscopy, we will establish the role of myristic acid in learning and how it is affected during ageing.
