Abstract
Recent work shows that two molecules with major roles in synaptic plasticity--CaMKII and the NMDA receptor--bind to each other. This binding activates CaMKII and triggers its autophosphorylation. In this state, it may act as a memory switch and strengthen synapses through enzymatic and structural processes.Mesh:
