TL;DR: It is demonstrated that phosphorylation of GluR1 is critical for LTD and LTP expression and the retention of memories.

TL;DR: The results of both test procedures indicate that ABL, but not CN, is part of a system involved in CSs’ acquisition of positive incentive value, and suggest that separate amygdala subsystems contribute to a variety of processes inherent in associative learning.

TL;DR: It is indicated that an intact amygdala is necessary for the expression of the modulatory effects of stress on hippocampal LTP and memory.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice that contain only one copy of the complete human DYRK1A gene in a bacterial artificial chromosome show significant impairment in hippocampal-dependent memory tasks in a Morris water maze, and shifts in both long-term potentiation and long- term depression are observed, which suggests a role for DYRk1A in bidirectional synaptic plasticity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the amygdalar neuronal activity during stress, but not shortly after stress, is essential for the emergence of stress-induced alterations in hippocampal LTP and memory.
