## Abstract A great deal of recent evidence points to a role for tyrosine kinase in expression of LTP. Data have been presented that are consistent with the idea that tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins occurs in both the presynaptic and postsynaptic areas. In this study, we set out to investigate

โฆ Synopsis
In conclusion, the report by Casey and colleagues is based on the use of two pharmacological inhibitors that have nonspecific effects and no attempt was made to verify their specificity. This lead the authors to ambitious conclusions on the involvement of tyrosine kinases on LTP in perforant path-granule cell synapses, that cannot be inferred from the data presented in this article.
