Long-term potentiation (LTP) of the hippocampal population spike in area CA1 was studied in the hippocampal slice before, during, and after inhibition of protein synthesis. LTP was tested 15 and 30 min following addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CXM) to the bathing medium. S
The functional role of the abundant Zn 2Ο© found in some hippocampal synapses has been an enigma. We show here, using N-[6-methoxy-8-quinolyl]-P-toluenesulfonamide (TSQ) staining, that chelatable-Zn 2Ο© can be removed from hippocampal synaptic boutons using dietary depletion or with Zn 2Ο© chelators.

## Abstract Cholinergic input from the basal forebrain and septum to the hippocampus is well known to be critical in learning and memory. Muscarinic induction of thetaβfrequency oscillations may synchronize preβ and postsynaptic firing and thereby enhance plasticity in the hippocampus. Previous stu
