Repetitive correlated spiking of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons can induce LTP at excitatory glutamatergic synapses. In cultured hippocampal neurons, we show that repetitive correlated ...

In 1949, Donald Hebb predicted a form of synaptic plasticity driven by temporal contiguity of pre- and postsynaptic activity. This prediction was verified decades later with the discovery of long ...

The connection point between a neuron emitting a (the presynaptic neuron) and the receiving neuron (the postsynaptic neuron) is the synapse. Each neuron is connected to about 10,000 other neurons ...
