Dichotomic Regulation of Striatal Plasticity by Dynorphin

Renzhi Yang, Rupa R. Lalchandani, Fuu-Jiun Hwang, Daniel W. Bloodgood, Dong Kong, Jun Ding

This study shows that dynorphin selectively suppresses LTP in dSPNs via KOR, and its absence enhances LTP and flexibility in reversal learning.

Dissociating encoding of memory and salience by manipulating long-term synaptic potentiation

Konstantin Kaganovsky, Mark H. Plitt, Renzhi Yang, Richard C. Sando, Lisa Marie Giocomo, Jun Ding, Thomas Christian Südhof

This study uses a novel approach to block long-term potentiation and finds that it selectively enhances salience coding in hippocampal neurons without affecting spatial memory.
