Hippocampal long-term potentiation (LIP) is reportedly reduced in the presence of melatonin, but the cellular mechanisms of LIP inhibition by melatonin remain unclear. Since melatonin has the ability to scavenge free radicals such as nitric oxide ...
In various neuroscientific studies the hippocampus is reported to play crucial roles in declarative memory. The hippocampus is composed of several synaptic field subdivisions, such as the dentate gyrus, CA3 and CA1. Synaptic plasticity in these ar...
Potassium ion channel blockade by tetraethyl ammonium (TEA) reportedly induces long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal mossy fiber (MF)-CA3 synapses, but the characteristics of induction, expression, and modulation of the LTP remain unclear. I...

Tetraethylarnmonium (TEA), a K+-channel blocker, reportedly induces long-term potentiation (LTP) of hippocampal CA1 synaptic responses, but at CA3 and the dentate gyrus (DG), the characteristics of TEA-induced plasticity and modulation by inhibito...
