Novel approach to find RNAs involved in long-term memory storage

Scientists have developed a novel strategy for isolating and characterizing a substantial number of RNAs transported from the cell-body of neuron (nerve cell) to the synapse, the small gap separating neurons that enables cell to cell communication. Relatively little is known about the identity of these RNA molecules transported as part of the molecular process underpinning learning and memory. Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute, Columbia University, and the University of Florida have developed a novel strategy for isolating and characterizing a substantial number of these RNAs.

Scitable | Learn Science at Nature

Scitable is a free science library and online learning tool from Nature Publishing Group, the world's leading publisher of science.

Scitable currently focuses on genetics and cell biology (evolution, gene expression, and cellular processes). Scitable also offers advice about effective science communication and career paths.

Biology | Khan Academy

I've posted previously links to individual Khan Academy's YouTube videos before, but now Khan Academy has a slick new website with all of their educational videos with online discussion threads for each video. You can view videos and ask questions or view common questions and answers already asked.

Neat.

Biology | OpenStax College

So, you want to learn biology online, but still like the old paper-in-hand copy to read? No problem! Open Stax College has a collection of college science textbooks you can view online for free or download for a small donation that you decide on. These are peer-reviewed texts written by professional content developers. Open Stax College was created by Rice University and has several open source textbooks with more on the way.
