The CaMKII/NMDA receptor complex controls hippocampal synaptic transmission by kinase-dependent and independent mechanisms

Calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is well known for its roles in synaptic plasticity. Using a series of molecular replacement experiments, the authors show that the kinase function of CaMKII is required for long-term plasticity and basal AMPA receptor-mediated transmission.
