Neural recognition molecules such as the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) have been implicated in synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP), sensitization, and learning and memory. The major isoform of NCAM carrying the longest cytoplasmic domain of all NCAM isoforms (NCAM180)
## Abstract In rodents, chronic stress induces longβlasting structural and functional alterations in the hippocampus, as well as learning and memory impairments. The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) was previously hypothesized to be a key molecule in mediating the effects of stress due to its r
The human optic nerve contains a heterogeneous population of astrocytes. In situ, a specialized subpopulation of astrocytes was distinguished in the adult optic nerve head by expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). To further study the biology of astrocytes, we have developed and charact
