12 leestips voor Keti Koti / Kadena Kibrá
Morgen is het 1 juli, de dag waarop de afschaffing van de slavernij in Suriname en de voormalige Nederlandse Antillen gevierd wordt. Vandaag, op 30 juni, vinden op meerdere plekken herdenkingen plaats. Met Keti Koti / Kadena Kibrá staan we stil bij de afschaffing van de trans-Atlantische slavernij, het verzet van alle tot slaaf gemaakten en de doorwerking van het verleden in onze samenleving. Dit is meer dan een bladzijde uit de geschiedenis, maar een gedeeld verhaal. Na lange tijd ondergewaardeerd en ondervertegenwoordigd te zijn geweest in de letteren, krijgt dat verhaal ook meer een stem in het literaire landschap. Dit lijstje boekentips, voor grote en kleine lezers, biedt inzicht in het Nederlandse slavernijverleden en de doorwerking ervan in het heden.

KIBRA anchoring the action of PKMζ maintains the persistence of memory
Memory is maintained by the continual interaction between two proteins: a postsynaptic scaffold and a persistently active kinase.

The research suggests that KIBRA (kidney and brain expressed adaptor protein) couples with PKMzeta to then create a stonger attachment to the activated synapses during learning.
