Synaptic plasticity is manifested by long-lasting changes in synaptic potency. Increased potency is of special importance in relation to the neural basis of memory. Even mild repetitive stimulation evokes large and prolonged potentiations of hippocampal synapses, as is revealed by electrical recordi
Adenosine is considered an important modulator of the nervous system acting at pre-, post-, and nonsynaptic levels. In models (e.g. the rat neuromuscular junction) where adenosine has only presynaptic (inhibitory, which are Al-receptor mediated; and excitatory, which are A2~-receptor mediated) effec
