Synopsis

The twenty-five contributions in this pivotal volume cover the most recent discoveries and debates, providing a comprehensive update on LTP for those who work in the field of learning and memory and a solid introduction to the properties, mechanisms, and functions of LTP for investigators in other areas of brain research.Controversy is a hallmark of an evolving field. Since its discovery by neuroscientists in 1972, long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission has been a prime candidate for a cellular explanation of memory and an exciting source of controversies that run from the molecular to the behavioral level.

About this title

Synopsis

Controversy is a hallmark of an evolving field. Since its discovery by neuroscientists in 1972, long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission has been a candidate for a cellular explanation of memory and a source of controversies that run - from the molecular to the behavioural level. The 25 contributions in this volume cover the most recent discoveries and debates, providing an update on LTP for those who work in the field of learning and memory and an introduction to the properties, mechanisms, and functions of LTP for investigators in other areas of brain research. The contributors are: Part I Pre-versus the post-synaptic changes in LTP: T.V.P. Bliss, M.P. Clements, M.L. Errington, M.A. Lynch and J.H. Williams; L. Aniksztejn, M.P. Roisin, A. Represa and Y. Ben-Ari; Z.I. Bashir, S.T. Alford, J.F. Blake, B.G. Frenguelli, S.N. Davies, K.G. Reymann and G.L. Collingridge; W.E.J.M. Ghijsen and F.H. Lopes Da Silva; F. Crepel, J.M. Bekkers and C.F. Stevens; B.L. McNaughton; R. Malinow and R. Tsien; J. Larsen, J. Ambros-Ingerson and G. Lynch. Part II The role of different calcium-dependent enzymes in LTP: D.J. Perkel and R.A. Nicoll; A. Routtenberg; M. Baudry; P.N.E.

De Graan and W.H. Gispen. Part III The biophysical / structural changes in LTP: C. Wallace, N. Hawrylak and W. Greenough; H.J. Matthies. Part IV The relationship between LTP and learning memory: C.A. Barnes, B.L. McNaughton and C.A. Erikson; C. Mondadori and L. Weiskrantz; R.G.M. Morris, S. Davis and S.P. Butcher; S. LaRoche, V. Doyere and C. Redini Del Negro; B. Soumireut-Mourat. Part V LTP rules in neural networks: T.W. Berger and M.F. Yeckel; T. Brown, A.M. Zador and Z.F. Mainen; R. Granger, A. Cobas and G. Lynch; J.C. Taylor; Y. Fregnac.
