Cells constantly have to adapt the level of activity of certain genes to specific requirements. This applies particularly to neurons, where synapses have to be repeatedly re-formed, re-wired, and restructured. For these processes—without which learning and remembering, for example, would not be possible—messenger molecules (mRNAs) deliver protein blueprints to the right place at the right time.
