CRE-mediated gene transcription in neocortical neuronal plasticity during the developmental critical period.

abstract：:Forming long-term memory (LTM) often requires repetitive experience spread over time. Studies in Drosophila suggest aversive olfactory LTM is optimal after spaced training, multiple trials of differential odor conditioning with rest intervals. Memory after spaced training is frequently compared to that after the same ...
