Synaptic modification of transmission is a general phenomenon expressed at al-most every excitatory synapse in the mammalian brain.Over the last three decades,much has been discovered about the cellular,synaptic,molecular,and signalingmechanisms responsible for controlling synaptic transmission and plasticity.Here,we present a brief review of these mechanisms with emphasis on the currentunderstanding of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid recep-tor (AMPA-R) trafficking and Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)signaling events involved in controlling synaptic transmission.
