Brain plasticity has been suggested to depend on growth hormones produced in peripheral tissues, yet their spatial and temporal distribution during learning remains unexplored. Employing molecular genetic tools for protein-protein interaction, we seek to visualize protein transport from blood to the brain during fear learning in mice. This research has a potential to advance our understanding of how long-term memory is formed in specific brain areas.
