Abstract excerpt
Lasting memories are likely to result from a lasting change in neurotransmission. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, spaced training with a tap stimulus induces habituation to the tap that lasts for >24 h and is dependent on glutamate transmission, postsynaptic AMPA receptors, and CREB. Here we describe a distinct, presynaptic mechanism for a shorter lasting memory for tap habituation induced by massed...
