Entorhinal theta-frequency input to the dentate gyrus trisynaptically evokes hippocampal CA1 LTP

There exists substantial evidence that some forms of explicit learning in mammals require long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses. While CA1 LTP has been well characterized at the monosynaptic level, it still remains unclear how the afferent systems to the hippocampus can initia...
