1
Q

CA3-CA1 LTP

A

Presynaptic activity is needed (release of Glutamate)

Post synaptic activity (to induce potentiation)

2
Q

When are synapses strengthened?

A

When both the postsynaptic and presynaptic cell are active during induction protocol

3
Q

What does NMDA receptor need?

A

Postsynaptic depolarisation

Presynaptic release of Glutamate

4
Q

CA3-CA1 LTD = anti-Hebbain

A

Synapses are weakened when both the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells are active during induction protocol

5
Q

Mossy fibre LTP = non-Hebbian

A

Doesn’t require post-synaptic activity to be induced

Synapses are strengthened but only the presynaptic cell is active during the induction protocol
