Brief environmental enrichment elicits metaplasticity of hippocampal synaptic potentiation in vivo

Long-term environmental enrichment (EE) elicits enduring effects on the adult brain, including altered synaptic plasticity. Synaptic plasticity may underlie memory formation and includes robust (>24h) and weak (<2h) forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD)....
