This study shows that strong aversive conditioning leads to long-lasting generalized aversion, with synaptic plasticity in different brain layers governing memory persistence and generalization.

This study shows that synaptic scaling is crucial for making associative memories specific, as blocking it leads to generalized aversion and prolonged synaptic strength increases in conditioned taste aversion memory.

The paper shows that asynchronous release sites are positioned to enhance NMDA receptor activation by reducing magnesium block.
