An ancient conserved role for prion protein in learning and memory

The misfolding of cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) to form PrP Scrapie (PrP(Sc)) is an exemplar of toxic gain-of-function mechanisms inducing propagated protein misfolding and progressive devastating neurodegeneration. Despite this, PrP(C) function in the brain is also reduced and subverted during pr...
