          LTP Theory of Learning and Memory Challenged

          Researchers overturned three decades of scientific consensus about the role of LTP (Long-Term Potentiation) in memory and learning. The team discovered that it's not the enzymatic actions of CaMKII that are needed for LTP, but its structural functions.

          How Gene Expression Controls Synaptic Plasticity in the Aging Human Brain

          M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) dependent LTP and LTD share a common AMPA trafficking pathway. Either the upregulation of neurotransmitter receptor genes or suppression of the downregulation could improve synaptic dysfunction associated with age-related neurodegeneration. The findings could assist in the creation of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease that target synaptic plasticity.

          A New Neural-Optic System Can Manipulate Memories

          A new neuro-optics technique can manipulate memory consolidation in mouse models by hindering long-term potentiation. Researchers say eliminating local LTP in the hippocampus erased memories. The method could be used to isolate memory formation at the cellular level.

          How Aggression Leads to More Aggression

          Hard wired neural circuits in mice that govern aggression are strengthened following victories in aggressive encounters. Synapses in the hypothalamus show signs of LTP following aggression training.

          Oxytocin Could Be Used to Treat Cognitive Disorders Like Alzheimer’s

          Oxytocin, the so-called "love hormone," could help to treat cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Researchers demonstrated oxytocin reversed the effects of amyloid-beta on hippocampal LTP in mice. The findings suggest oxytocin could be used as a therapeutic for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

          Lack of oxygen doesn’t kill infant brain cells, as previously thought

          A lack of oxygen as a result of preterm birth does not cause hippocampal neurons to die but does impair hippocampal development. Hypoxia causes hippocampal cells to fail to mature normally, causing a reduction in long-term potentiation and impaired learning.
