Zinc enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation at CA1 synapses through NR2B containing NMDA receptors.

Zinc enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation at CA1 synapses through NR2B containing NMDA receptors.

The role of zinc (Zn2+), a modulator of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, in regulating long-term synaptic plasticity at hippocampal CA1 synapses is poorly understood. The effects of exogenous application of Zn2+ and of chelation of endogenous Zn2+ were examined on long-term potentiation (LTP)...
