Abstract:

The effects of 2- and 100-Hz tetanus on long-term potentiation (LTP) of field potentials recorded from layers II/III and induced in layer IV in rat visual cortical slices were examined. Paired-pulse stimulation was used to probe the different mechanisms of LTP induced by 2- and 100-Hz tetanus. The paired-pulse ratio (PPR) decreased after the LTP induced by 2-Hz tetanus, with the changes in PPR being correlated with LTP amplitude. However, in the LTP induced by 100-Hz tetanus, the changes in PPR were not correlated with LTP expression. These experiments suggest that an enhanced probability of presynaptic transmitter release underlies LTP induced by 2-Hz tetanus, but not LTP induced by 100-Hz tetanus.

Long-term Potentiation

Long-term Potentiation

Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
