Week 4 Flashcards
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
