Optogenetic elevation of postsynaptic cGMP in the hippocampal dentate gyrus enhances LTP and modifies mouse behaviors

A major intracellular messenger implicated in synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions both in health and disease is cyclic GMP (cGMP). Utilizing a photoactivatable guanylyl cyclase (BlgC) actuator to increase cGMP in dentate granule neurons of the hippocampus by light, we studied the effects of...
