NMDA receptors: Substrates or modulators of memory formation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (4):634-634 (1997)
| Abstract | We agree with Shors & Matzel's general hypothesis that the proposed link between NMDA-dependent LTP and memory is weak. They suggest that NMDA-dependent LTP is important to arousal or attentional processes which influence learning in an anterograde manner. However, current evidence is also consistent with the view that NMDA receptors modulate memory consolidation retroactively, as occurs in several other receptor classes. | |||||||||
