Long-Term Memory creation related to chemically altering the brain

The latest research from Harvard University, happens to be related to my up coming book, "Memori dan Pembelajaran Efektif (ISBN 979-543-723-2)" (published in Bahasa Indonesia).

Creating Long-Term Memory (LTM) related to chemically altering the brain.
For the first time, neuroscientist at Harvard University were recently able to observe new protein being synthesized at the synapses between neurons. The synthesis was observed in fruit flies, occurred as the flies learned to associate an odor with electric shock. Sam Kunes, molecular biologist, said his team found a new biochemical pathway that determines if this protein synthesis happens. He also can tell where exactly this synthesis takes place.

Kunes could see synapses modified after exposure to the odor by using fluorescent markers. The altered synapse meant the difference between remembering something for an hour - a short-term memory - and a day, which is Long-Term Memory (LTM) for a fruit fly. Kunes believes these findings will lead to a better understanding of how memory works in higher animals because the basic structure of this biochemical pathway is the same in mice and humans. This finding could eventually result in therapies to bolster fading recall.
