Title : “Calpain: a key component of synaptic plasticity and learning & memory?”
Speaker: Dr. Michel Baudry
Summary:
In 1984, Gary Lynch and Michel Baudry proposed the hypothesis that the calcium-dependent protease, calpain, plays an important role in LTP and in learning and memory. Dr. Baudry will review the evidence accumulated over the last 2 years that argues the importance of calpain in synaptic plasticity and identifies critical targets for calpain, thus supporting its role in regulating structural organization and function of synaptic contacts.
