TLDR
A simple model is described that unifies much of the data that previously were viewed as contradictory about the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting increase in synaptic strength in the hippocampus.
Abstract
Long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus is the leading experimental model for the synaptic changes that may underlie learning and memory. This review presents a current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting increase in synaptic strength and describes a simple model that unifies much of the data that previously were viewed as contradictory.

Postsynaptic protein phosphorylation and LTP.

TL;DR: In the CA1 region of the hippocampus, the combined activation of SRC family tyrosine kinases, protein kinase A,protein kinase C and, in particular, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases II results in phosphorylation of glutamate-receptor-gated ion channels and the enhancement of subsequent postsynaptic current.

Synaptic strength regulated by palmitate cycling on PSD-95

TL;DR: It is found that palmitate cycling on PSD-95 can regulate synaptic strength and regulates aspects of activity-dependent plasticity, and that rapid glutamate-mediated AMPA receptor internalization requires depalmitoylation of PSd-95.

The role of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in regeneration and plasticity in the central nervous system.

TL;DR: The development of methods to remove CSPGs has considerable therapeutic potential in a number of CNS disorders and may be involved in the pathological processes in diseases such as epilepsy, stroke and Alzheimer's disease.

Neuromorphic computing with multi-memristive synapses

TL;DR: A multi-memristive synaptic architecture with an efficient global counter-based arbitration scheme to address challenges associated with the non-ideal memristive device behavior is proposed.

A synaptic model of memory: long-term potentiation in the hippocampus

TL;DR: The best understood form of long-term potentiation is induced by the activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor complex, which allows electrical events at the postsynaptic membrane to be transduced into chemical signals which, in turn, are thought to activate both pre- and post Synaptic mechanisms to generate a persistent increase in synaptic strength.

Long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission in the dentate area of the anaesthetized rabbit following stimulation of the perforant path.

TL;DR: The after‐effects of repetitive stimulation of the perforant path fibres to the dentate area of the hippocampal formation have been examined with extracellular micro‐electrodes in rabbits anaesthetized with urethane.

Synaptic Activity and the Construction of Cortical Circuits

TL;DR: The sequential combination of spontaneously generated and experience-dependent neural activity endows the brain with an ongoing ability to accommodate to dynamically changing inputs during development and throughout life.

Dendritic spine changes associated with hippocampal long-term synaptic plasticity

TL;DR: After induction of long-lasting (but not short-lasting) functional enhancement of synapses in area CA1, new spines appear on the postsynaptic dendrite, whereas in control regions on the same dendrites or in slices where long-term potentiation was blocked, no significant spine growth occurred.

Deficient Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation in α-Calcium-Calmodulin Kinase II Mutant Mice

TL;DR: W Whole cell recordings reveal that postsynaptic mechanisms, including N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function, are intact and are therefore a suitable model for studying the relation between LTP and learning processes.
