Hallo gfp927z, from my german research board

Hope this helps.

Targets for the development of memory-enhancing drugs.

The production of memory-related synaptic changes occurs in three stages. Step 1: induction. Released transmitter binds to AMPA-type glutamate receptors, which then depolarize the postsynaptic region and unblock NMDA-type receptors. Step 2: expression. NMDA receptors admit calcium and thereby modify AMPA receptors so as to increase the size of subsequent excitatory currents. Step 3: consolidation. NMDA receptors also trigger changes that stabilize the modifications to the AMPA receptors. A rapidly developing aspect of this (3A) involves adhesion receptors, whereas a more delayed component requires genomic events (3B). Current strategies for drug development (red asterisks) target the AMPA receptor component of induction or the gene-signaling component of consolidation.
