Possible mechanism and the role of structural changes in the proteins of synaptic membranes in the process of formation of the temporary connection is discussed on the basis of existing assumptions and experimental data. Our experimental data suggest that during learning the structural changes occur in the synaptic membrane which are due to the conformation changes in the external and the integral proteins of membranes. Low-molecular proteins of synaptoplasma may play the role of the "carriers" and connectors and at a certain stage promote a conformation changes in synaptic proteins.
