Abstract

Activation of NMDA receptors during cerebral ischemia triggers signaling pathways that promote both neuronal death and survival. In this issue of Neuron, Sasaki et al. present evidence for a new endogenous survival pathway involving the kinase SIK2 and the CREB coactivator TORC1. The powerful neuroprotection conferred by this pathway has considerable translational potential for stroke therapy.
