LOW-FREQUENCY-INDUCED SYNAPTIC POTENTIATION: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE FIELD OF MEMORY-RELATED PLASTICITY MECHANISMS?

It is assumed that plasticity involving up-and down regulation of synaptic strength (i.e., long-term potentiation, LTP; long-term depression, LTD) mediates learning and memory processes. Typically, high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of afferent fibers results in LTP, while low-frequency stimulation (L...
