This article reviews models of the cerebellum and motor learning starting with the landmark
papers by Marr and Albus and going through present times. The unique architecture of the …

In the last few years it has become clear that AMPA‐type glutamate neurotransmitter
receptors are rapidly transported into and out of synapses to strengthen or weaken their …

Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is thought to have a significant role in the progressive memory loss
observed in patients with Alzheimer disease and inhibits synaptic plasticity in animal models …

Alternative splicing of genes in the central nervous system is ubiquitous and utilizes many
different mechanisms. Splicing generates unique transcript or protein isoforms of the primary …

The fluorescent dye sulforhodamine‐101 undergoes synaptic activity‐dependent
endocytotic uptake and consequent retrograde transport in presynaptic neurons. We used …

Previous studies using an in vitro model of eyeblink classical conditioning in turtles suggest
that increased numbers of synaptic AMPARs supports the acquisition and expression of …

The tolloid/bone morphogenetic protein-1 family of metalloproteinases have an important
role in the regulation of embryonic pattern formation and tissue morphogenesis. Studies …

Discharge profiles of abducens, accessory abducens, and orbicularis oculi motoneurons
during reflex and conditioned blinks in alert cats. The discharge profiles of identified …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in mechanisms of synaptic
plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP), but its role in associative learning remains …

Expression of the immediate-early genes (IEGs) has been shown to be induced by activity-
dependent synaptic plasticity or behavioral training and is thought to play an important role …
