A New DREADD Facilitates the Multiplexed Chemogenetic Interrogation of Behavior.

abstract：:It has been hypothesized that the direction of synaptic weight change elicited by synaptic activity depends on the magnitude of the activity-dependent rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Several aspects of this hypothesis were examined at the Schaffer collateral CA1 synapse, where both long-term depression (LTD)...
