An immune factor in the brain plays critical roles in neuron function and aging

Broad Institute

A new study reveals that C1q can also enter neurons, where it influences protein production, and can accumulate within neurons over time. They also suggest that C1q influences learning, memory, and flexibility in the adult brain, potentially by interacting with specific complexes within neurons that impact protein production.
