Background: Phospholipid-mediated signalling on neurons provokes diverse responses such as neurogenesis, pattern formation and neurite remodelling. A recently uncovered novel set of molecules in the mammalian brain, named plasticity-related genes (PRGs) mediate lipid phosphate phosphatase activity and provide evidence for their involvement in mechanisms of neuronal plasticity.
