Activity-Regulated Transcription: Bridging the Gap between Neural Activity and Behavior.

abstract：:beta-Adrenergic receptor activation has a central role in the enhancement of memory formation that occurs during heightened states of emotional arousal. Although beta-adrenergic receptor activation may enhance memory formation by modulating long-term potentiation (LTP), a candidate synaptic mechanism involved in memor...
