Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to examine: (1) whether long-term potentiation (LTP) can be induced in slices from adult rat visual cortex under conditions where inhibition is not antagonized, and (2) the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in its induction. The field potential elicited in layer III in response to stimulation of the subcortical white matter consisted of a component with peak latency 5-8 ms (N1) and, in most slices, a second component with peak latency 13-19 ms (N2). N1 was generated via both kainate/alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) and NMDA receptor activation as revealed by bath application of 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX) and D,L-2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (APV). N2 was insensitive to APV in most of the slices and was probably polysynaptic since it did not follow stimulation at 0.5 Hz. Tetanic stimulation of the white matter in normal medium induced LTP of N1; in some slices N2 also potentiated. Tetanic stimulation in the presence of APV also induced LTP of N1 and sometimes N2. LTP of N1 induced in APV was of a larger magnitude, and was expressed more quickly than LTP induced in normal medium. It appears that the known reduction of NMDA receptor activity in adult neocortex is accompanied by the development of other mechanisms that maintain synaptic plasticity; these mechanisms seem to operate more efficiently in absence of NMDA receptor activation.
