1. Chemical and stimulus-induced NMDA-dependent plasticity and the possible involved mechanisms
Abstract : Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are considered as the most important forms of synaptic plasticity involved in learning and memory. The traditional way to induce LTP and LTD is by electric stimulation leading to activation of NMDA-R. READ MORE

2. Differences in glutamatergic transmission onto interneurons and pyramidal cells in the rat hippocampus
Abstract : In the human brain there are about 100 billion excitatory glutamatergic neurons and 10 billion inhibitory GABAergic neurons. During development, these neurons are synaptically wired together into neural networks, functionally prepared to perform the full register of brain functions, and to learn from experiences. READ MORE

3. Activity-dependent changes of synaptic transmission in a long-term perspective and processes involved
Abstract : Synaptic plasticity is an essential property of the central nervous system. It is thought torepresent a mechanism for memory aquisition, storage and recall. The most well studied forms ofsynaptic plasticity are homosynaptic NMDAR-dependent LTP and LTD in the hippocampus inducedby specific patterns of electrical stimulation. READ MORE

4. Short- and long-term neuronal plasticity in hippocampal CA1 region of rat
Abstract : The brain is highly plastic, displaying both short- and long-term changes, resulting from developmental processes as well as learning and memory. Moreover, short-term plasticity such as paired pulse facilitation and depression (PPF, PPD) have long been used to monitor the presynaptic versus postsynaptic changes occurring during more lasting processes such as long-term potentiation and depression (LTP, LTD).

5. Plasticity and variation of synaptic responses in hippocampus. Role of AMPA and NMDA receptors
Abstract : It is generally believed that synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system may underlie learning and memory as well as neuronal development. The most wellstudied examples of such synaptic plasticity are long-term potentiation (LTP) andlong-term depression (LTD). READ MORE
