“Miniature spaceships” inside neurons may help control memory 🚀 New research from QBI has shown tiny mobile structures in brain cells called vaults can carry RNA between different parts of a neuron. Professor Timothy Bredy from QBI’s Centre for RNA in Neuroscience said their latest study, led by PhD student Mr Mason Musgrave, suggests these structures called vaults act like transport vehicles inside neurons. “This study gives us the first evidence of the contents inside these complex structures inside neurons and the first demonstration that they could be involved in memory," Professor Bredy said.
