The effects of adenosine on inhibitory synaptic transmission in area CA1 were examined using the rat hippocampal slice preparation and intracellular recording. Adenosine did not change fast inhibitory synaptic potentials (IPSPs) but depressed late…
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…
