Is Instability Good for the Brain?

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Nahm et al. (2013) examine the Drosophila ortholog of spartin, the human gene mutated in a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Spartin inhibits BMP signaling and upregulation of BMP signaling may increase microtubule stability and neurodegeneration.
