AMPA receptor trafficking and long-term potentiation.

Roberto Malinow 1
PMCID: PMC1693162  PMID: 12740116

Abstract

Activity-dependent changes in synaptic function are believed to underlie the formation of memories. A prominent example is long-term potentiation (LTP), whose mechanisms have been the subject of considerable scrutiny over the past few decades. I review studies from our laboratory that support a critical role for AMPA receptor trafficking in LTP and experience-dependent plasticity.
