Neurons, the nerve cells in our brain, are extremely long-living and are virtually never replaced by new cells. It is therefore crucial that they retain their function and their cell type as robustly as possible. “Understanding the basic mechanisms for the durability and continued existence of neurons is the key to preventing and treating age-related neurological diseases,” explains Prof. Dr. Tomohisa Toda, professor of neural epigenetics at FAU.
