• hippocampal CA1 synapses show larger facilitation with almost no depression following repetitive stimulation at a moderate frequency (25 times at 14 Hz)
|
• following KCl-induced depolarization Ca-dependent glutamate release from synaptosomes is impaired
|
• in CA1 synapses the magnitude of paired-pulse facilitation is increased at 50, 70, and 100 ms intervals
• however, there does not appear to be a difference in the baseline release probability, long term potentiation, or post-tetanic potential and no morphological abnormalities are seen in the cerebral cortex or hippocampus
