Challenges and Opportunities in Brain Bioinorganic Chemistry

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Metal ions play critical roles in neurotransmission, memory formation, and sensory perception. Understanding the molecular details of these processes is the Holy Grail of metalloneurochemistry. Here we describe five challenges for collaborative teams of chemists, biologists, and neuroscientists to help make this dream a reality.
