Changing the strength of connections between neurons is widely assumed to be the
mechanism by which memory traces are encoded and stored in the central nervous system …

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 …

Acetylcholine may set the dynamics of cortical networks to those appropriate for learning of
new information, while decreased cholinergic modulation may set the appropriate dynamics …

In epilepsy research, there is growing interest in the role of the piriform cortex (PC) in the
development and maintenance of limbic kindling and other types of limbic epileptogenesis …

Synaptic plasticity in the mammalian central nervous system has been the subject of intense
investigation for the past four decades. Long-term potentiation (LTP), a major reflection of …

Neurophysiol. 79: 1425–1440, 1998. Simultaneous recordings of main olfactory bulb (MOB) …

Over the last ten years, methods of cerebral imaging have revolutionized our knowledge of
cognitive processes in humans. An impressive number of papers dealing with cerebral …

Throughout the nervous system, ion gradients drive fundamental processes. Yet, the roles of
interstitial ions in brain functioning is largely forgotten. Emerging literature is now revitalizing …

The major problem in olfactory neuroscience is to determine how the brain discriminates
one odorant from another. The traditional approach involves identifying how particular …

▪ Abstract Long-term potentiation (LTP), a relatively long-lived increase in synaptic strength,
remains the most popular model for the cellular process that may underlie information …
