Resumen de Relaxin 3/ Relaxin Family Peptide Receptor 3 (RXFP3) system impact over spatial memory and social behaviour
- español
Diferents regions del cervell treballen a l'uníson com a conseqüència de connexions d'alta complexitat per donar lloc a l'expressió de diferents comportaments. Un del majors reptes de la recerca a la neurociència és saber diferenciar els mecanismes específics que modulen les interconnexions de les àrees que treballen juntes per regular un comportament. Aquest estudi es focalitza a un sistema neuropèptidic, el sistema relaxina-3/RXFP3 i a les implicacions que te a la memoria espacial i comportament social.

Different brain areas work together as a result of intricate connections allowing the expression of different behaviours. A major challenge in neuroscience research is to decipher the specific mechanisms of how different brain areas are inter-related to work together and what modulates them. Important lines of research focus on understanding how specific molecules, such neuropeptides, are key modulators of neuronal activity with deep implications in behavioural outcomes. Our work on the Relaxin 3/RXFP3 system focuses on how this neuropeptidic system modulates spatial memory and social behaviour.
