ABSTRACT
Experimental evidence implies that L1 and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) are involved in long-term memory formation. Changes in their expression and glycosylation appear to modify the synaptic strength underlying memory consolidation. Interference with L1 and NCAM function in a variety of learning tasks in different species severely attenuates memory consolidation, indicating their involvement in an evolutionary conserved mechanism of neural plasticity.
