Dopamine increases protein synthesis in hippocampal neurons enabling dopamine-dependent LTP

The reward and novelty-related neuromodulator dopamine plays an important role in hippocampal long-term memory, which is thought to involve protein-synthesis-dependent synaptic plasticity. However, the direct effects of dopamine on protein synthesis, and the functional implications of newly synthesi...
