Deskripsi

The acid-sensing ion channel, ASIC1a, is known to play a role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Here, the authors demonstrate a role for ASIC1a in regulating plasticity in the insular cortex and find that extinction of conditioned taste aversion memory is disrupted in the ASIC1a knockout mice.
