Much of the current interest in the hippocampus concerns a rapid and persistent form of synaptic plasticity, called long-term potentiation (LTP), that is a candidate substrate for some of the mnemonic functions of this structure. There are at least two kinds of LTP in the hippocampus. One form is fo
The functional role of the abundant Zn 2ฯฉ 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 2ฯฉ can be removed from hippocampal synaptic boutons using dietary depletion or with Zn 2ฯฉ chelators.
