Plasticity of NMDA receptor-mediated transmission and metaplasticity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus

The hippocampus is a key structure of the brain for learning and memory processes. Two inputs to the CA1 region, the Schaffer collateral (SC) and the temporoammonic (TA) pathways, have different roles in these processes. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) are crucial for induction of synaptic pl...
