Eyes Wide Open on AMPAR Trafficking during Motor Learning

Neuron. 2020 Mar 4;105(5):764-766. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2020.02.006.

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Roth et al. (2020) report that the content of GluA1-containing AMPAR at spines and dendrites in vivo in the motor and visual cortex increases proportionally to the learning of a motor task. Visual cortex activity is necessary for increasing AMPAR content and learning in light.
