Consolidation of implicit memory in the invertebrate Aplysia and explicit memory in the
mammalian hippocampus are associated with remodeling and growth of preexisting …

Experience exerts a profound influence on the brain and, therefore, on behavior. When the
effect of experience on the brain is particularly strong during a limited period in …

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 …

Serotonin (5-HT) shapes brain networks during development and modulates a wide
spectrum of essential neuronal functions ranging from perception and cognitive appraisal to …

Much evidence indicates that, after learning, memories are created by alterations in
glutamate-dependent excitatory synaptic transmission. These modifications are then actively …

Glycosylation defects are a hallmark of many nervous system diseases. However, the
molecular and metabolic basis for this pathology is not fully understood. In this study, we …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular proteases that have well recognized
roles in cell signaling and remodeling in many tissues. In the brain, their activation and …

Recent evidence suggests that nano-organization of proteins within synapses may control
the strength of communication between neurons in the brain. The unique subsynaptic …
