Ca2+ Requirements for Long-Term Depression Are Frequency Sensitive in Purkinje Cells

Cerebellar long-term depression (LTD) is a form of synaptic plasticity dependent on postsynaptic Ca2+ changes. One fundamental question is how LTD is selectively induced by specific numbers of Ca2+ pulses and which are the frequency and duration of this train of pulses required for LTD induction. Th...
