The role of Akt in AMPA receptor insertion and LTP

It has been widely accepted that long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA1 region mostly results from increased insertion of post-synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors (AMPARs). The previous study in our lab has shown that activation of phosphatidylinos...
