    Together with AMPA receptors, cellular calcium and CAM2 kinases, they provide plasticity of the nerve synapse. In particular, long-term postsynaptic potentialization (sustained strengthening or, conversely, weakening of the synapse).

    This is the molecular basis for several types of coding in the nervous system of memory and learning functions. In particular, their role in the hippocampus, which is a structure necessary for declarative (related to facts and events) short-and medium-term memorization, is being actively studied.
