PROTEIN SYNTHESIS REQUIRED FOR LONG-TERM MEMORY IS INDUCED BY PKC ACTIVATION ON DAYS PRECEDING ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING

摘要

The present invention provides methods of contacting a protein kinase C (PKC) activator with a PKC activator in a manner sufficient to stimulate the synthesis of proteins sufficient to consolidate long-term memory. The present invention also provides methods of contacting a protein kinase C (PKC) activator with a PKC activator in a manner sufficient to downregulate PKC.
