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
Mossy fiber potentiation and long-term potentiation involve different expression mechanisms

## Abstract The role of zinc in long‐term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses is controversial because of the contrary results obtained when using zinc chelators. On the basis of the postulation that exogenous zinc enhances the action of zinc released from mossy fibers, mossy fib
## Abstract Hippocampal granule cells transmit information about behaviorally‐relevant stimuli to CA3 pyramidal cells via mossy fiber synapses. These synapses express a form of long‐term potentiation (mfLTP) that is non‐Hebbian and does not require NMDA receptors. mfLTP is thought to be induced and
The functional role of the abundant Zn 2ϩ 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 2ϩ can be removed from hippocampal synaptic boutons using dietary depletion or with Zn 2ϩ chelators.

## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play a pivotal role in remodeling of the extracellular matrix and have been implicated in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. In hippocampus, inhibition of MMPs impairs the maintenance of long term plasticity in Schaeffer collateral‐CA
