Description:
A key function for microtubule-associated-protein 6 in activity-dependent stabilisation of actin filaments in dendritic spines A key function for microtubule-associated-protein 6 in activity-dependent stabilisation of actin filaments in dendritic spines, Published online: 17 September 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05869-z Microtubule-associated protein 6 (MAP6) is known to be important for synaptic plasticity and cognition, supposedly via interaction with microtubules. Here, the authors found that MAP6 is crucial for the stabilisation of enlarged synapses through its association with a different cytoskeletal element, actin.
