Popis: Hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting increase in synaptic efficacy considered to be the cellular basis of memory. LTP consists of an early, protein synthesis-independent phase (E-LTP) and a late phase that depends on protein synthesis (L-LTP). In water-deprived rats E-LTP in the dentate gyrus (DG) can be reinforced into L-LTP, if the rats were allowed to drink within 15 min after E-LTP induction (behavioral LTP-reinforcement, BR). LTP can be depotentiated by low-frequency stimulation (LFS) to the same synaptic input if applied shortly after tetanization (
