Adult learning and remodeling of hippocampal mossy fibers: unheralded participant in circuitry for long-lasting spatial memory

Hippocampus. 2010 Jan;20(1):44-5. doi: 10.1002/hipo.20664.

Abstract

Two articles in this issue concerning the overexpression of GAP-43 on mossy fiber growth are related to the plasticity of these axons in relation to learning and memory.
