Synaptic metaplasticity underlies tetanic potentiation in Lymnaea: a novel paradigm.

We present a mathematical model that explains and interprets a novel form of short-term potentiation, which was found to be use-, but not time-dependent, in experiments done on Lymnaea neurons. The high degree of potentiation is explained using a model of synaptic metaplasticity, while the use-depen...
