A modified medium containing an AMPA receptor antagonist and low concentrations of magnesium was used to investigate the factors governing the botentiation of synaptic responses mediated by NMDA receptors. When long-term potentiation (LTP) was induced in standard medium and NMDA responses were analy

Evoked potentials recorded from slices of pigeon hippocampus were reversibly attenuated by 2 mM kynurenic acid. High frequency stimulation (3 x 200 Hz for 1 sec, with 1 sec intervals) evoked a persistent increase in the evoked potential, lasting in a nondecremental form for at least 2 hr. This incre
## Synaptic distributions of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and ␣-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunits, NMDAR1 and GluR2, respectively, were examined by electron microscopy with the high spatial resolution of postembedding immunogold localization. We provide direct
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
Synaptic responses mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) and non-NMDAr activation were compared in CA1 hippocampal region of young (3-4 months old) and aged (25-33 months old) Sprague-Dawley rats with the use of ex vivo extracellular recordings techniques. In aged rats, the amplitude
