Changing the strength of connections between neurons is widely assumed to be the
mechanism by which memory traces are encoded and stored in the central nervous system …

Abstract Lynch, MA. Long-Term Potentiation and Memory. Physiol Rev 84: 87–136, 2004;
10.1152/physrev. 00014.2003.—One of the most significant challenges in neuroscience is to …

The hippocampus is one of a group of remarkable structures embedded within the brain's
medial temporal lobe. Long known to be important for memory, it has been a prime focus of …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a synaptic enhancement that follows brief, high-frequency
electrical stimulation in the hippocampus and neocortex. Recent evidence suggests that …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a well-characterized form of synaptic plasticity that fulfils
many of the criteria for a neural correlate of memory. LTP has been studied in a variety of …

Abstract [This book] presents the insights of more than 3 decades of empirical research on
the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Fuster focuses …

Improvements in health care have greatly increased life span in the United States. The focus
is now shifting from physical well-being to improvement in mental well-being or maintenance …

A consensus has famously yet to emerge on the locus and mechanisms underlying the
expression of the canonical NMDA receptor-dependent form of LTP. An objective …

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in the rodent hippocampus have been shown to
be essential for spatial learning and memory, and for the induction of long-term synaptic …

RECENT studies in invertebrates indicate that a rapid genomic response to neuronal
stimulation has a critical role in long-term changes in synaptic efficacy1. Because several of …
