“…These observations conform to a general scheme (West et al, 2002; Alberini, 2009), in which P-CREB primes a first wave of TFs activation (Sheng et al, 1990; Nedivi et al, 1993; Qian et al, 1993; Benito and Barco, 2015), which is followed by a second wave involving the IEGs, c-Fos (Morgan et al, 1987; Kaczmarek et al, 1988; Brindle and Montminy, 1992; Kaczmarek and Chaudhuri, 1997; Fleischmann et al, 2003; Flavell and Greenberg, 2008; Jungenitz et al, 2014; Benito and Barco, 2015). A simpler scheme involving new protein synthesis using pre-existing mRNA (Otani et al, 1989; Huang and Kandel, 2005; Barco et al, 2008) may not apply to the present case.…”
