😳 OOPS SAYS

So our brain proteins literally link up to form chains to help us learn and remember. Good to know my memory issues are just a literal weak link in the chain.

What actually happened

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University, Kyoto University, SOKENDAI and the National Institute for Physiological Sciences have revealed how CaMKIIα—a key brain protein involved in learning and memory—organizes itself into chain-like structures.
