Visual stimulation activates ERK in synaptic and somatic compartments of rat cortical neurons with parallel kinetics.

BACKGROUND: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling pathway plays a crucial role in regulating diverse neuronal processes, such as cell proliferation and differentiation, and long-term synaptic plasticity. However, a detailed understanding of the action of ERK in neurons is made diffi...
