... in mediating sPLA 2 -IIA secretion. Moreover, KA-induced sPLA 2 -IIA secretion is dependent on Ca 2+ and protein kinase C. Together, these findings provide evidence of a link between glutamate receptors and regulated sPLA 2 secretion in neurons that may play an important role in synaptic plasticity, pain...

... and long-term depression, could be the molecular and cellular basis of experience-dependent plasticities, such as learning and memory. Those changes of synaptic strength are directly related to AMPAR trafficking to and away from the synapse. There are many forms of synaptic plasticity in the mammalian...

...Carlo Sala Dendritic spines are discrete membrane protrusions from dendritic shafts where the large majority of excitatory synapses are located. Their highly heterogeneous morphology is thought to be the morphological basis for synaptic plasticity. Electron microscopy and time-lapse imaging studies...
