Abstract
This work analyzes arc protein’s ability in balancing Long-Term Potentiation and Long-Term Depression and inquires on unrestricted LTP’s impact. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate the effect on memory if arc protein loses its function of removing AMPA receptors. By dividing mice into the wild type group and the LTD deficit group, this work emphasizes on the important of LTD in relieving the saturation point of LTP.
