The contribution of the cytosolic calcium binding protein calbindin D 28K (CaBP) to glutamatergic neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity was investigated in hippocampal CA1 area of wild-type and antisense transgenic CaBP-deficient mice, with the use of extracellular recordings in the ex vivo slic

## Abstract The results of several previous studies have suggested that pretreatment with adenosine can block the induction of longβterm potentiation (LTP), although other studies have found no effect of adenosine on the induction of LTP. The interaction of adenosine with the induction of LTP in th
The role of putrescine in synaptic neurotransmission and plasticity was studied using transgenic mice overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a polyamine-synthesizing enzyme. Transgenic mice were produced using the standard microinjection technique leading to elevated levels of putrescine in t
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting increase in synaptic strength induced by high frequency stimulation. LTP may participate in learning and memory formation. In many synaptic systems, LTP is dependent on intact function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. NMDA receptors may be inhi
