Role of adenosine in heterosynaptic, posttetanic depression in area CA1 of hippocampus.

Conditioning stimulation of afferent fibers in hippocampal area CA1 produced heterosynaptic, posttetanic depression (PTD) of responses evoked by stimulation of an independent set of afferent fibers. PTD was present within 5 s of conditioning…

Presynaptic mechanism for heterosynaptic, posttetanic depression in area CA1 of rat hippocampus.

Conditioning stimulation applied to afferent fibers in stratum radiatum or stratum oriens of hippocampal area CA1 produced heterosynaptic, posttetanic depression (PTD) of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs). PTD amounted to a

L-type calcium channels refine the neural population code of sound level.

The coding of sound level by ensembles of neurons improves the accuracy with which listeners identify how loud a sound is. In the auditory system, the rate at which neurons fire in response to changes in sound level is shaped by local networks.…

Long-term potentiation induces synaptic plasticity at nontetanized adjacent synapses.

The two forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and one form of long-term depression (LTD) in hippocampal area CA1 are induced by different afferent tetani: LTD is induced by a 3- to 5-Hz tetanus, whereas higher frequencies are necessary for LTP…
