These results suggest that a regulator such as MIR6131 might, if functionally linked, modulate AMPA receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity by influencing GRIP1 expression or interactions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn another context, deletion of GRIP in the nucleus accumbens was shown to alter AMPAR subunit composition—increasing the prevalence of calcium‐permeable receptors—and to impair forms of synaptic plasticity (i.e., long-term depression).
