Gene expression in learning processes
Open accessAbstract
It has repeatedly been shown that long-term memory formation involves neuronal gene expression. In this article several different roles for neuronal gene function in a context of learning are considered: maintenance of neural functioning, replenishment of cellular elements that are exhausted in response to massive neuronal stimulation accompanying behavioral training, maintenance of the plastically reorganized neuronal connections, and finally integration of information at the level of transcription factor-promoter interaction. It is strongly advocated that only careful scrutiny of learning-related gene expression phenomena may aid in understanding of the complex learning process.

Many immediate early genes (IEGs) code for transcription factors and may be recruited during learning as agents of metaplasticity.
“since many immediate early genes (IEGs) code for transcription factors, they may be recruited during learning as agents of metaplasticity (Clayton, 2000;Kaczmarek, 2000;Guzowski, 2002).”

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.
