Synaptic Tagging and Capture: From Synapses to Behavior (STC)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

It is shown that long-term potentiation (LTP) is the cellular basis of memory formation. However, since all but small fraction of memories are forgotten, LTP has been further divided into early LTP (e-LTP), the mechanism by which short-term memories are formed, and a more stable late LTP (L-LTP), by which long-term memories are formed. Remarkably, it has been shown that an e-LTP can be stabilized ...
