Rapid and long-lasting increase in sites for synapse assembly during late-phase potentiation in rat hippocampal neurons.

Long-term potentiation in hippocampal neurons has stages that correspond to the stages of learning and memory. Early-phase (10-30 min) potentiation is accompanied by rapid increases in clusters or puncta of presynaptic and postsynaptic proteins, which depend on actin polymerization but not on protei...
