This review covers the spatial and temporal rules governing induction of hippocampal long-
term potentiation (LTP) by theta-burst stimulation. Induction of LTP in field CA1 by high …

neuron~, and modulation of TH~ x and RE cells by nwsopont/ne chol/ne, rsic affere, nts (only …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …

We present a new model for the generation of theta rhythm of the hippocampus. We propose
that theta at CA1 involves extracellular current fluxes produced by alternating depolarizing …

Hippocampal pyramidal cells are called place cells because each cell tends to fire only
when the animal is in a particular part of the environment—the cell's firing field. Acute …

UNDERSTANDING the mechanisms involved in long-term potenti-ation (LTP) should
provide insights into the cellular and molecular basis of learning and memory in …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in activity-dependent
modifications of neuronal connectivity and synaptic strength, including establishment of …

Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in the superficial layers of juvenile cat and adult rat
visual neocortex was compared with that in adult rat hippocampal field CA1. Stimulation of …

We discovered in slices of rat visual cortex that reliable long-term potentiation (LTP) of
synaptic responses in layer III could be elicited by theta burst stimulation delivered to a site …

Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is a phenomenon in which the precise timing of
spikes affects the sign and magnitude of changes in synaptic strength. STDP is often …
