Abstract:The neuronal bases of learning and memory are so far not understood. The generally accepted view is that sensory inputs related to experience bring about modifications in synaptic connectivity among neurons with the result of the establishment of particular neuronal circuitries.These modifications conceivably require the involvement of molecules, especially proteins, for the build up of new synaptic structures and the modulation of the preexisting
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
