AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are assemblies of four core subunits, GluA1–4, that mediate
most fast excitatory neurotransmission. The component subunits determine the functional …

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and long-term potentiation (LTP)
were discovered within a decade of each other and have been inextricably intertwined ever …

The study of synaptic plasticity and specifically LTP and LTD is one of the most active areas
of research in neuroscience. In the last 25 years we have come a long way in our …

For more than 20 years, we have known that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase
(CaMKII) activation is both necessary and sufficient for the induction of long-term …

Synaptic plasticity serves as a cellular substrate for information storage in the central
nervous system. The entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus are interconnected brain …

The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that
mediate the flux of calcium (Ca2+) into the post‐synaptic compartment. Ca2+ influx …

In the past few decades, the field of neuroepigenetics has investigated how the brain
encodes information to form long-lasting memories that lead to stable changes in behaviour …

Excitatory signaling mediated by N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is critical for brain
development and function, as well as for neurological diseases and disorders. Channel …

Although memory can be hazy at times, it is often assumed that memories of violent or
otherwise stressful events are so well encoded that they are effectively indelible and that …

Neuronal communication across synapses relies on neurotransmitter release from
presynaptic active zones (AZs) followed by postsynaptic transmitter detection. Synaptic …
