The storage of long-term memory is associated with a cellular program of gene expression, altered protein synthesis, and the growth of new synaptic connections. Recent studies of a variety of memory processes, ranging in complexity from those produced by simple forms of implicit learning in invertebrates to those produced by more complex forms of explicit learning in mammals, suggest that part of the molecular switch required for consolidation of long-term memory is the activation of a cAMP…

TLDR
Parts of the mechanisms utilized for learning-related synaptic growth initiated by experience in the adult may eventually be understood in the context of the molecular logic that shapes synaptic circuitry during the later stages of neuronal development.
Mechanisms of translation control underlying long-lasting synaptic plasticity and the consolidation of long-term memory.
Long-term memory consolidation: The role of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains
TLDR
Primary evidence for the concept that Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding (CPEB) protein enables the persistence of formed memories by transforming in prion-like manner from a soluble monomeric state to a self-perpetuating and persistent polymeric translationally active state required for maintaining persistent synaptic plasticity is considered.
Acute activation of conserved synaptic signaling pathways in Drosophila melanogaster
TLDR
The potential of conditional Drosophila seizure mutants of comatose and CaP60A mutants for the development of a neural activity generation paradigm capable of inducing long lasting and robust neural activity is explored.

The Making of Long-Lasting Memories: A Fruit Fly Perspective
TLDR
Recent literature regarding how the formation of memories induces a rapid, extensive and, in many cases, transient wave of transcriptional activity is reviewed.
The molecular basis of CaMKII function in synaptic and behavioural memory
TLDR
Genetic mutations that prevent persistent activation of CaMKII block LTP, experience-dependent plasticity and behavioural memory, making this kinase a leading candidate in the search for the molecular basis of memory.
Transcription factors in long-term memory and synaptic plasticity.
TLDR
The results of this work suggest that patterns of transcription regulation represent the molecular signatures of long-term synaptic changes and memory formation.
Transcriptional regulation of long-term memory in the marine snail Aplysia
TLDR
The core molecular features of transcriptional regulation involved in the long-term process are evolutionally conserved in Aplysia, Drosophila, and mouse, and indicate that gene regulation by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase acting in conjunction with different combinations of transcriptionAL factors is critical for the expression of many forms of long- term memory.

Structural changes accompanying memory storage.
TLDR
The recent evidence for structural changes in learning is considered by considering the structural changes that accompany long-term memory and how they compare with the de novo synapse formation and synaptic pruning that occur during development.

CREB as a Memory Modulator: induced expression of a dCREB2 activator isoform enhances long-term memory in drosophila
Effects of cAMP simulate a late stage of LTP in hippocampal CA1 neurons.
TLDR
Activation of PKA may be a component of the mechanism that generates L-LTP, and analogs of cAMP induced a potentiation that blocked naturally induced L- LTP, which was blocked by inhibitors of protein synthesis.

Regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinases are degraded after conjugation to ubiquitin: a molecular mechanism underlying long-term synaptic plasticity.
TLDR
It is suggested that degradation is initiated by cAMP, which causes the holoenzyme to dissociate and, further, that the altered R-to-C ratio in Aplysia sensory neurons is maintained in long-term facilitation by newly synthesized proteins that help target R subunits for accelerated degradation.

TLDR
The results indicate that one mechanism for the storage of long-term sensitization is the regulation of membrane currents that influence the characteristics of the action potential and the excitability of individual neurons.
Morphological basis of long-term habituation and sensitization in Aplysia.
TLDR
The morphological basis of the persistent synaptic plasticity that underlies long-term habituation and sensitization of the gill withdrawal reflex in Aplysia californica was explored by examining the fine structure of sensory neuron presynaptic terminals in control animals and in animals whose behavior had been modified by training.
