Molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and memory

Y Elgersma et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

To unravel the molecular and cellular bases of learning and memory is one of the most ambitious goals of modern science. The progress of recent years has not only brought us closer to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stable, long-lasting changes in synaptic strength, but it has also provided further evidence that these mechanisms are required for memory formation.
