Learning to Modulate Transmitter Release: Themes and Variations in Synaptic Plasticity

Hawkins, Robert D., Kandel, Eric R., Siegelbaum, Steven A.·1993·Annual Review of Neuroscience

Abstract

Learning is the modification of behavior by experience, and memory is the retention of that modification over time. As learning and memory have become accessible to study with the techniques of cellular and molecular biology, a variety of cellular mechanisms of neuronal plasticity have now been identified that are thought to contribute to different forms of learning in invertebrates and vertebrates (for reviews, see Alkon & Rasmussen 1988; Byrne 1987; Carew & Sahley 1986; Hawkins et al 1987; Ito 1 989; Nicoll et a11988; Thompson 1986). Therefore, researchers can now attempt to define basic principles of learning by comparing these mechanisms and asking: What do they have in common, and how are they different? Until quite recently, these questions proved surprisingly difficult to answer. Different forms of neuronal plasticity appeared to predominate in different forms oflearning, in different regions of the brain, and in different species. In mammals, for example, at least two quite different synaptic mechanisms appeared to operate in different regions of the hippocampus, a structure critical for learning. Moreover, these two mechanisms seemed to differ from those encountered in such invertebrates as Aplysia, Her­ missenda, and Drosophila. However, recent cellular studies on hippo-

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.
