The Egr family of transcription factors plays a key role in long-term plasticity and memory in a
number of vertebrate species. Here we identify and characterize ApEgr (GenBank …

Most long-term memories are forgotten. What happens, then, to the changes in neuronal
gene expression that were initially required to encode and maintain the memory? Here we …

We used a custom-designed microarray and quantitative PCR to characterize the rapid
transcriptional response to long-term sensitization training in the marine mollusk Aplysia …

The precise nature of the engram, the physical substrate of memory, remains uncertain.
Here, it is reported that RNA extracted from the central nervous system of Aplysia given long …

The final published article is available in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of
Neuroscience: https://oxfordre. com/neuroscience. The underlying markdown documents are …

Long-term sensitization in Aplysia is accompanied by a persistent up-regulation of mRNA
encoding the peptide neurotransmitter Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFa), a neuromodulator …

Most long-term memories are forgotten, becoming progressively less likely to be recalled.
Still, some memory fragments may persist, as savings memory (easier relearning) can be …

We characterized the transcriptional response accompanying maintenance of long-term
sensitization (LTS) memory in the pleural ganglia of Aplysia californica using microarray (N …

In the analysis of memory it is commonly observed that, even after a memory is apparently
forgotten, its latent presence can still be revealed in a subsequent learning task. Although …

Long-term memory (LTM) is believed to be stored in the brain as changes in synaptic
connections. Here, we show that LTM storage and synaptic change can be dissociated …
