Experiments analysing the statistical properties of synaptic transmission, before and after the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), suggest that expression of LTP largely arises in a presynaptic mechanism--an increased probability of transmitter release.
Long-term potentiation (LTP) of the hippocampal population spike in area CA1 was studied in the hippocampal slice before, during, and after inhibition of protein synthesis. LTP was tested 15 and 30 min following addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CXM) to the bathing medium. S
## Abstract Slices from rat hippocampus were incubated with the caspase‐3 inhibitor __N__‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐Asp‐Glu‐Val‐Asp fluoromethylketone (Z‐DEVD‐FMK) or with the inactive peptide __N__‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐Phe‐Ala fluoromethylketone (Z‐Phe‐Ala‐FMK) for 30 min. The peptides changed neither input–
## Abstract Cholinergic input from the basal forebrain and septum to the hippocampus is well known to be critical in learning and memory. Muscarinic induction of theta‐frequency oscillations may synchronize pre‐ and postsynaptic firing and thereby enhance plasticity in the hippocampus. Previous stu
