Researchers have long known that the nervous system receptor known as TRPV1 can affect sensations of pain in the body. Now a group of Brown University researchers has observed that these receptors - a darling of drug developers - also may play a role in learning and memory in the brain. In surprising new research, reported in the journal Neuron, Julie Kauer and her team show that activation of TPRV1 receptors can trigger long-term depression, a phenomenon that creates lasting changes in the connections between neurons. These changes in the brain - and the related process of neural reorganization known as long-term potentiation - are thought to bethe cellular basis for memory making……..
