abstract：:We have used low magnesium concentrations and the specific antagonist D-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate (D-AP5) to estimate the effects of long-term potentiation (LTP) on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptor-mediated components of postsynaptic responses. LTP induction resulted in a considerably larger p...
