Overexpression of activated CaMKII in the CA1 hippocampus impairs context discrimination, but not contextual conditioning

Abstract Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a key role in the molecular mechanism of memory formation. CaMKII is known to be activated specifically in the activated spines during memory formation. However, it is unclear whether the specific activation of CaMKII is necessar...
