Inducible and Reversible NR1 Knockout Reveals Crucial Role of the NMDA Receptor in Preserving Remote Memories in the Brain
Open accessAbstract
Long-term storage of information is a hallmark feature of the brain, yet routine turnover of synaptic receptors appears to be intrinsically paradoxical to this capability. To investigate how the brain preserves its delicate synaptic efficacies, we generated inducible and reversible knockout mice in which the NMDA receptor can be temporarily switched off in the forebrain specifically during the storage stage. Retention of 9-month contextual and cued fear memories is severely disrupted by prolonged, but not transient, loss of the NMDA receptor that occurs 6 months after initial training and at least 2 months prior to memory retrieval. Normal learning and memory function in subsequent tasks following the 9-month retention tests suggest that the observed retention deficits did not result from recall or performance impairment. Thus, our study reveals a hitherto unrecognized role of the NMDA receptor in dynamically maintaining the long-term synaptic stability of memory storage circuits in the brain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
