Regulation of protein expression in neurons by controlling not only when, but where, mRNAs are translated is likely to play an important role in neuronal function. In this review I focus on the mRNA-binding proteins that control mRNA translation in neurons and how they may participate in local, synaptodendritic protein synthesis.
Key words: synaptic plasticity; FMRP; mRNA translation; CPEB; ZBP; translation initiation
