nervous system
• in CA1 after high frequency stimulation
• long term depression is unaffected
|
behavior/neurological
• initial learning affected more than subsequent learning (NMDAR receptor vs NMDAR receptor independent)
|
• long term contextual fear conditioning is impaired
• dorsal hippocampal lesions also impair contextual fear conditioning
• pre-exposure to context fails to enhance fear conditioning
• short term memory remains intact
|
• tested using a Morris water maze
|
• impaired as tested using a radial maze
• spatial working memory not affected
