A role for nitric oxide-driven retrograde signaling in the consolidation of a fear memory

A role for nitric oxide-driven retrograde signaling in the consolidation of a fear memory

In both invertebrate and vertebrate models of synaptic plasticity, signaling via the putative “retrograde messenger” nitric oxide (NO) has been hypothesized to serve as a critical link between functional and structural alterations at pre- and postsynaptic sites. However, while i...
