Mechanisms for the induction and expression of long-term potentiation (LTP) were studied in slices of piriform cortex. Cooperativity among afferent inputs as a controlling factor for induction of LTP was tested by pairing stimulation of one input that normally does not induce LTP with stimulation of

The entorhinal cortex receives input from many cortical areas and mediates the flow of information between these sites and the hippocampal formation. Long-term synaptic plasticity in cortical efferents to the entorhinal cortex may contribute to the transmission of neural activity to the hippocampus,
The contribution of NMDA receptors to the expression of long-term potentiation (LTP) is controversial. In entorhinal cortex (EC) previous studies reported either that LTP was exclusively expressed through NMDA receptors or that both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors were involved in LTP expression. To ree
