Abstract
Proteins are constantly being synthesized in nerve cell perikarya and transported periferad with velocities differing from 2 mm to 200 mm per day. The break-down of neuronal protein is presumably considerable, and I assume Dr. Lajtha will later comment on this. However, specific protein capable of undergoing conformational changes and incorporated in, for example, membranes in the perikarya and the synapses and with a slow turnover, may be assumed to serve the long-term memory function.
