NMDA receptor activity is necessary for long-term memory in the non-spatial, hippocampal-dependent, social transmission of food preference task
Memory of some forms requires the hippocampus, a brain structure in the medial temporal lobe that reveals remarkable synaptic plasticity. Most synapses in the hippocampus require NMDA-receptors for the induction of this plasticity. Memories that require the hippocampus may also require NMDA-receptor...
