Published in final edited form as: Trends Neurosci. 2018 Oct 31;42(1):14–22. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2018.10.005 Abstract Over the past half-century, we have gained significant insights into the molecular biology of long-term memory storage at the level of the synapse. In recent years, our understanding of the cellular architecture supporting long-term memory traces has also substantially improved. However, the molecular biology of consolidation at the level of neuronal systems has been relatively neglected. In this opinion article, we first…
