Transient increase in Zn2+ in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons causes reversible memory deficit.
The translocation of synaptic Zn(2+) to the cytosolic compartment has been studied to understand Zn(2+) neurotoxicity in neurological diseases. However, it is unknown whether the moderate increase in Zn(2+) in the cytosolic compartment affects memory processing in the hippocampus. In the present stu...
