Brain cells continually pull material from the fluid around them, including nutrients, signaling molecules, and fragments of their own outer surfaces. This process, called endocytosis, supports learning, memory, and the routine maintenance of neurons.
Penn State researchers have now identified a previously unrecognized structure that may control much of this activity. The structure is a lattice located just beneath the surface of neurons and is known as the me...
