In Aplysia californica, postsynaptic overexpression of a truncated DSCAM containing the intracellular domain blocked the clustering of [alpha]-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors, which are necessary for expression of long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity that underlie learning (15).
