Restoring Memory Formation in a Memory-Deficient Mouse Model through Allosteric Modulation

Begin with a genetically modified (GM) mouse with disrupted downstream signaling of mGluR5, a neurotransmitter receptor.In the hippocampus of a regular mouse, mGluR5 regulates endocytosis of fast-acting excitatory receptors from existing synapses, weakening them.Internalized receptors are recycled to newly formed synapses, strengthening them for memory formation.In the GM mouse, impaired mGluR5 signaling reduces receptor redistribution, disrupting new memory formation.Expose the mouse to a...
