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

Long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity and memory are dependent on new protein
synthesis. Recent advances obtained from genetic, physiological, pharmacological, and …

Considerable evidence suggests that the formation of long-term memories requires a critical
period of new protein synthesis. Recently, the notion that some of these newly synthesized …

▪ Abstract Breathing is a vital behavior that is particularly amenable to experimental
investigation. We review recent progress on three problems of broad interest.(i) Where and …

Storing memories of ongoing, everyday experiences requires a high degree of plasticity, but
retaining these memories demands protection against changes induced by further activity …

Memory and synaptic plasticity exhibit distinct temporal phases, with long-lasting forms
distinguished by their dependence on macromolecular synthesis. Prevailing models for the …

Genes are understandably crucial to physiology, morphology and biochemistry, but the idea
of genes contributing to individual differences in behaviour once seemed outrageous …

▪ Abstract Studies over the past 20 years have revealed that gene expression in neurons is
carried out by a distributed network of translational machinery. One component of this …

Long-term memory (LTM) consolidation is thought to require the prior establishment of short-
term memory (STM). Here we show that optogenetic or genetic CaMKII inhibition impairs …

Although recent evidence demonstrates considerable neuroplasticity in the respiratory
control system, a comprehensive conceptual framework is lacking. Our goals in this review …
