Abstract excerpt
Cyclic GMP (cGMP) has been implicated in the modulation of long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) in the hippocampus. Transcripts for subunits of several types of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase are found in the mammalian brain but their relative role in hippocampal function is unclear. The retinal degeneration (rd) mutation in the gene encoding the PDE6B subunit causes a loss of function in PDE6...
