Cellular Mechanisms of Memory: Complex Circuits
This chapter reviews recent progress toward a full characterization of one particular form of synaptic plasticity observed in the mammalian brain called long-term potentiation (LTP). LTP can be induced in many brain structures that are involved in memory, and there is substantial evidence that the same cellular mechanisms that mediate LTP are required for lasting memory.
Keywords: long-term potentiation, memory, mammalian brain, LTP, lasting memory
