| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dendritic spines of neurons are postsynaptic sites receiving excitatory inputs from neuronal axons. Maintenance of proper distribution and morphology of spines in neurons underlies critical aspects of brain functions. In this study, we found that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II b isoform (CaMKIIb) was phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) under type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R1) signaling in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and which was involved in controlling the maintenance of Purkinje cell spines in mature cerebellum.
