CCR-5 Activity Blocks Crab Activation

The previous paper that they reference did show that CCR-5 activity induced blocks crab activation. So it's presumably some sort of slower change in transcription and then a receptor that's important for excitability. But your summary term was right on. We think that crab activation, so the gene that gets turned on with learning, increases excitability. And that helps that particular neuron get incorporated into the memory.
