Long-lasting potentiation and depression of synaptic responses in the hippocampus

Tetanic stimulations when applied to the Schaffer collaterals or the commissural input to CA₁ neurones in the mammalian hippocampus results in a long-lasting potentiation (LLP) of synaptic transmission across the tetanized synapse (Andersen et al., 1977; Schwartzkroin and Wester 1975). The induction...
