In memoriam: John Lisman – commentaries on CaMKII as a memory molecule

Abstract Shortly before he died in October 2017, John Lisman submitted an invited review to Molecular Brain on ‘Criteria for identifying the molecular basis of the engram (CaMKII, PKMζ)’. John had no opportunity to read the referees’ comments, and as a mark of the regard in which he was held by the...
