NMDA receptor activity bidirectionally controls active decay of long‐term spatial memory in the dorsal hippocampus

The time‐dependent forgetting of long‐term spatial memories involves activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the hippocampus. Here, we tested whether NMDARs regulate memory persistence bidirectionally, decreasing or increasing the rate of forgetting. We found that blocking NMDAR activation with AP5...
