It is evident that the mammalian brain plays a central role in various tasks such as memory formation and learning. In order to do so, the brain relies on its ability to preserve the function of specific neuronal connections called synapses. Given that synapses are the functional units of the brain where specific neurotransmitter receptors are localized, understanding the specific mechanisms that accurately and precisely regulate their function is of prime importance.
