Long-Term Potentiation--A Decade of Progress?

Malenka, Robert C., Nicoll, and Roger A.·1999·Science

Abstract

Long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus is the leading experimental model for the synaptic changes that may underlie learning and memory. This review presents a current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting increase in synaptic strength and describes a simple model that unifies much of the data that previously were viewed as contradictory.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Each biological synapse contains a plurality of presynaptic release sites and postsynaptic ion channels.

    “Moreover, each biological synapse contains a plurality of presynaptic release sites53 and postsynaptic ion channels54.”

    From Neuromorphic computing with multi-memristive synapses (2018) · cites this paper as [54]

  • The involvement of progressively larger numbers of memristive devices during potentiation is analogous to the development of new ion channels in a potentiated synapse.

    “The involvement of progressively larger numbers of memristive devices during potentiation is analogous to the development of new ion channels in a potentiated synapse53,54.”

    From Neuromorphic computing with multi-memristive synapses (2018) · cites this paper as [54]

  • Perfusing postsynaptic neurons with activated CaMKII occludes further LTP, suggesting a shared mechanism between the ways of increasing synaptic strength.

    “Importantly, this manipulation occludes further LTP, suggesting a shared mechanism between the ways of increasing synaptic strength (Malenka and Nicoll 1999;Lisman et al. 2002).”

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.
