Synapse specificity of long-term potentiation breaks down with aging.

Memory shows age-related decline. According to the current prevailing theoretical model, encoding of memories relies on modifications in the strength of the synapses connecting the different cells within a neuronal network. The selective increases in synaptic weight are thought to be biologically implemented by long-term potentiation (LTP). Here, we report that tetanic stimulation of afferent f...

P19: 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...

Long-term potentiation and the computational synapse.

Not all synapses in the brain are the same. Some transmit signals from one neuron to the next more efficiently than others; the efficiency is referred to as synaptic strength. Currently the most widely accepted theory of memory is that memories are stored as patterns of synaptic strength. Longterm potentiation (LTP) is one way that the strength of synapses is changed and perhaps memories are en...

P18: Signaling Pathway in Long-Term Potentiation

Synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has been discussed for many years. Several forms of synaptic plasticity of mammal’s CNS have been identified, such as those that occur in long-term potentiation (LTP). Different types of LTP have been observed in distinctive areas of the CNS of mammals. The hippocampus is one of the most important areas in the CNS that pla...
