Neuroscientists fine-tune zinc activity to improve messaging in brain

West Virginia University neuroscientists have discovered a way to control how much zinc is released to specific locations in the brain. The essential mineral plays a major role in the organ's function, including improving memory and lessening symptoms of some neurological disorders, but getting the right amount to the right place is key.

Zinc finger homeobox-3 (ZFHX3) orchestrates genome-wide daily gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus

The mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), situated in the ventral hypothalamus, directs daily cellular and physiological rhythms across the body. The SCN clockwork is a self-sustaining transcriptional-translational feedback loop (TTFL) that in turn coordinates the expression of clock-controlled genes (CCGs) directing circadian programmes of SCN cellular activity. In the mouse, the transcription factor, ZFHX3 (zinc finger homeobox-3), is neces…
