A tetanic stimulation of an excitatory input to the hippocampal formation induces a long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission through the tetanized pathway. This phenomenon is called long-term potentiation (LTP). In the subfields CA1 and dentate gyrus, the LTP shows two features : input-specificity and cooperativity. The induction of the LTP in these fields is blocked by D-2-amino-5-phosphono valerate (D-APV), an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) re-ceptors. The above features of the LTP can be explained by the voltage-dependent blockade ofNMDA receptor channels by Mg2+.The LTP of synapses between mossy fibers and CA3 neurons is insensitive to D-APV. It is possible therefore that NMDA receptors are not involved in induction of the LTP in these synapses. Our experiments were summarized in which anattempt was made to determine the site of pri-mary changes underlying the LTP. Possible mechanisms for induction of the LTP were discussed.
