Topic: intermediate medial mesopallium

Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that participates in several neuronal processes including synaptic plasticity. We have recently shown that the amounts of total Src and its two phosphorylated forms, at tyrosine-416 (activated) and tyrosine-527 (inhibited), undergo time-dependent, region-specific learning-related changes in the domestic chick forebrain after visual imprinting. These changes occur only in the intermediate medial mesopallium (IMM), a site of learning and memory formation for visual imprinting. Src contains a region of low sequence conservation, which interacts with mitochond
