| Abstract: | Here are some highlights: Discovering that brain nerve cell skeletal proteins are part of the synapse (Gozes & Littauer, [8]; Gozes & Sweadner, [12]; Zisapel et al., [26]). We at EJN are proud to introduce Dr. Illana Gozes as the next scientist for our series of Women in Neuroscience. We were first to show specific gene directed brain protein synthesis (Gozes et al., [10]; Gozes et al., [13]) and to clone the gene coding for the major regulatory neuropeptide - brain "hormone" VIP (Bodner et al., [3]). Discovering that ADNP is prone to mutations in cancer (Zamostiano et al., [25]), now found to be mutated de novo in autism (Gozes et al., [7]; Malishkevich et al., [21]), somatically mutated in the Alzheimer's disease brain paralleling brain pathology (Ivashko-Pachima et al., [17]), as well as serving as a biomarker for schizophrenia (Merenlender-Wagner et al., [23]).
