Warmer preparation of hippocampal slices prevents synapse proliferation that might obscure LTP-related structural plasticity.

abstract：:An earlier finding that three systems were responsible for the uptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid by synaptosomes was corroborated. In addition, the existence of three uptake systems for RS-nipecotic acid and beta-alanine was demonstrated. We have called these systems high affinity, medium affinity and low affinity upt...
