| Article/Chapter Title: | Polysialic acid in adult brain plasticity |
| Abstract: | This chapter summarizes the findings on polysialic acid function in the adult brain. In particular, the roles of polysialic acid elucidated by analysis of NCAM knockout mice are described, together with descriptions of the role of polysialic acid in the circadian rhythm, long-term potentiation and memory, neurological diseases, and response to injury. |
