Molecular studies of gene expression during long - lasting
synaptic plasticity related to memory storage initially focused on the identification of positive regulators.

Modulation of an NCAM -
related adhesion molecule with long - term
synaptic plasticity in Aplysia
Maternal alcohol consumption prior to and during pregnancy significantly affects cognitive functions in offspring, which may be
related to changes in cyclin - dependent kinase 5 because it is associated with modulation of
synaptic plasticity and impaired learning and memory.
It is likely that a combination of several factors (e.g. age -
related changes at the level of gene expression, infectious agents, toxic compounds, and head trauma) affects the neuronal milieu and initiates neuropathological processes leading to the formation of toxic tau and amyloid β species, reduction of
synaptic plasticity, and neuronal loss resulting in development of sporadic AD.»
