Abstract:
This disclosure relates to methods of detecting and quantifying neuronal activation. This disclosure further relates to a particular phosphorylation of calcineurin A alpha (CNAα) at serine 469 (S469) of the amino acid sequence of the protein as a marker for neuronal activation, antibodies recognizing that phosphorylated form of CNAα, and uses of such antibodies, for example, in various neuronal activity assays and related kits.
