Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular injections of EGTA block induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation

TL;DR: It is reported that intracellular injections of the calcium chelator EGTA block the development of LTP and this results strongly suggest that LTP is caused by a modification of the postsynaptic neurone and that its induction depends on the level of free calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multifarious hippocampal mossy fiber pathway: a review

TL;DR: It is suggested that understanding the functional role of the hippocampusal mossy fiber pathway may lie in an appreciation of its variety of unique properties that make it a strong yet broadly modulated synaptic input to postsynaptic targets in the hilus of the dentate gyrus and area CA3 of the hippocampal formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of repetitive low frequency stimulation on control and “potentiated” synaptic responses in the hippocampus

TL;DR: Trains of low frequency stimulation (LFS) were administered to the Schaffer collateral-commissural projections to the regio superior of the rat hippocampus before and after the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Associative long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices.

TL;DR: This form of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP), known as associative LTP, was shown in some cases to last hours without decrement and could not be accounted for by any of several measured postsynaptic passive membrane properties.
