Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein) is a cellular transcription factor that activates gene transcription in neurons, leading to the formation of dendritic spines, which are small protrusions from a neuron's dendrite that typically receive input from a single synapse of an axon. This process is crucial for synaptic plasticity and memory formation.
