Controversy is a hallmark of an evolving field. Since its discovery byneuroscientists in 1972, long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission has been a primecandidate for a cellular explanation of memory and an exciting source of controversies that run fromthe molecular to the behavioral level. The twenty-five contributions in this pivotal volume coverthe most recent discoveries and debates, providing a comprehensive update on LTP for those who workin the field of learning and memory and a solid introduction to the properties, mechanisms, andfunctions of LTP for investigators in other areas of brain research.Michel Baudry is AssociateProfessor in the Department of Biology at the University of Southern California. Joel L. Davis isProgram Manager of the Biological Intelligence Section at the Office of Naval Research.Contributors.I. Pre- versus the Post-Synaptic Changes in LTP. T.V.P. Bliss, M.P. Clements, M.L.
