Relative contribution of endogenous neurotrophins in hippocampal long-term potentiation.
Recent evidence has shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). Because the reagents used in acute experiments react not only with BDNF but also with neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4/5) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3), we examined the involvement of these neurotrophins in LTP using two highly specific, function-blocking monoclonal antibodies agains...
متن کاملBlock of 5-HT2 Receptors Enhances Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation
The effect of endogenous serotonin on long-term potentiation (LTP) in region CAI was studied by blocking 5-HT2 receptors with ketanserin in rat hippocampal slices. Such a block significantly en-hanced long-term potentiation of the CAI population spike induced by high frequency stimulation of the schaffer collateral/ commissural pathway. This implies that serotonin acts on 5-HT2 receptors in CAI...
متن کاملP3: Mechanisms of TrkB-Mediated Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation in Learning and Memory
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process that certain types of synaptic stimulation lead to a long-lasting enhancement in the strength of synaptic transmission. Studies in recent years indicate the importance of molecular pathways in the development of memory and learning. Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a member of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase family, that its ligand is b...
متن کاملP19: Long-Term Potentiation
The term synaptic plasticity points to a series of persistent changes related to the activity of synapses. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a reflection of synaptic plasticity that has an important role in learning and memory. LTP is a long-lasting increase of synaptic activity due to enhancement of excitatory synaptic transmission after a high-frequency train of electrical stimulations. Differe...
متن کاملNeurotrophins and Time: Different Roles for TrkB Signaling in Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation
We examined the role of TrkB ligands in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) using function-blocking TrkB antiserum (Ab) and Trk-IgG fusion proteins. Incubation of hippocampal slices with TrkB Ab had no effect on basal synaptic transmission, short-term plasticity, or LTP induced by several trains of tetanic stimulation. The TrkB Ab-treated slices, however, showed significant deficits in LTP...
