对于弗洛伊德的突触可塑性和记忆理论的探讨,参见S. Freud, “Project for a scientific psychology,” in Standard Edition, trans. and ed. James Strachey et al., vol. 1, 281–397 (New York: W. W. Norton, 1976); K. H. Pribram and M. M. Gill, Freud’s “Project” Re-assessed: Preface to Contemporary Cognitive Theory and Neuropsychology(New York: Basic Books, 1976); 和F. J. Sulloway, Freud: Biologist of the Mind(New York: Basic Books, 1979).
我和同事们还分析了经典条件作用的机制。1983年,霍金斯、卡鲁和我描绘了一个突触前成分,它是在敏感化中起作用的机制的增强物。1992年,尼古拉斯·戴尔和我发现感觉神经元使用谷氨酸作为它的递质。1994年,我以前的学生戴维·格兰茨曼以及随后罗伯特·霍金斯和我做出一个重要观察,发现还存在一个重要的突触后成分。参见X. Y. Lin and D. L.
