Cholinergic stimulation enhances long-term potentiation in the CA1 region of rat hippocampus

Blitzer, Robert D., Gil, Orlando, Landau, Emmanuel M.·1990·Neuroscience Letters

Abstract

The effect of the cholinergic agonist carbachol on a putative substrate for memory (long-term potentiation; LTP) was investigated in slices of rat hippocampus (CA1 region). Carbachol (5 microM) increased LTP when the presynaptic depression of the EPSP was controlled. The results indicate that carbachol enhances the effectiveness of the tetanus, probably through postsynaptic mechanisms. This effect may have implications for the role of acetylcholine in memory and the use of cholinergics in memory disorders.

  • The enhancement of long-term encoding could be at least partially mediated by the cholinergic enhancement of long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.

    “The enhancement of long-term encoding could be at least partially mediated by the cholinergic enhancement of long-term potentiation in the hippocampus (Blitzer et al., 1990; Burgard and Sarvey, 1990; Auerbach and Segal, 1994; Isaac et al., 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
