## Abstract Evidence for morphological substrates of longβterm changes in synaptic efficacy is controversial, partly because it is difficult to employ an unambiguous control. We have used a highβfrequency stimulation protocol in vivo to induce longβterm potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal dentate
Approximately 2,700 dendritic spines in Golgi-impregnated hippocampal granule cells were quantified via image analysis 24 h after the unilateral induction of long-term potentiation in seven rats. Stereological corrections were made using a tilting disector and analytical unfolding technique. In the
Neural recognition molecules such as the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) have been implicated in synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP), sensitization, and learning and memory. The major isoform of NCAM carrying the longest cytoplasmic domain of all NCAM isoforms (NCAM180)
