The role of postsynaptic spiking and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the induction of synaptic plasticity at the Schaffer collateral synapse in the rat hippocampus

The induction of NMDA receptor-dependent long-term. potentiation (LTP) requires the coincidence of presynaptic glutamate release and postsynaptic depolarisation. The postsynaptic depolarisation requirement for LTP induction can be supplied by a variety of mechanisms including; the temporal summation...
