Language:Chinese.Paperback. Pub Date: 2005-9-1 Pages: 493 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Long-term potentiation (LTP) is by far the most dominant modelfor neuronal changes that might encode memory LTP is an elegantconcept that meets many criteria set up by. theoreticians longbefore the models discovery. and it also fits anatomical data oflearning-dependent synapse changes. Since the discovery of LTP. thequestion has remained about how closely LTP produced in vitro byartificial stimulation of neurons actually models putativelearning-induced synaptic changes. A number of recentinvestigations have tried to correlate synaptic changes observedafter learning with changes produced by artificial stimulation ofneurons. These studies have failed to find a correlation betweenthe two forms of synaptic plasticity. In this book. aninternational group of neurobiologists and psycholo...
