Long-term potentiation at CA3-CA1 hippocampal synapse with special emphasis on aging, disease, and stress
Synaptic plasticity in the mammalian central nervous system has been the subject of intense investigation for the past four decades. Long-term potentiation (LTP), a major reflection of synaptic plasticity, is an activity-driven long-lasting increase in the efficacy of excitatory synaptic transmissio...
