## 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 theta‐frequency oscillations may synchronize pre‐ and postsynaptic firing and thereby enhance plasticity in the hippocampus. Previous stu
## Abstract Severe stress elevates plasma and CNS levels of endogenous neuroactive steroids that can contribute to the influence of stress on memory formation. Among the neuroactive steroids, pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS) reportedly strengthens memories and is readily available as a memory‐enhancing
## Abstract The induction of long‐term potentiation (LTP) of CA3‐CA1 synapses requires activation of postsynaptic __N__‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (GluNRs). At resting potential, the contribution of GluNRs is limited by their voltage‐dependent block by extracellular Mg^2+^. High‐frequency afferen
