Expression of NMDA receptor-dependent LTP in the hippocampus: bridging the divide

Open access
Bliss, Tim VP, Collingridge, Graham L·2013·Molecular Brain

Abstract

A consensus has famously yet to emerge on the locus and mechanisms underlying the expression of the canonical NMDA receptor-dependent form of LTP. An objective assessment of the evidence leads us to conclude that both presynaptic and postsynaptic expression mechanisms contribute to this type of synaptic plasticity.

  • The expression of NMDAR-dependent LTP is primarily postsynaptic, although a minor presynaptic component is difficult to entirely exclude.

    “Although it is difficult to entirely exclude the possibility of a minor presynaptic component of NMDAR-dependent LTP, the evidence is overwhelming that its expression is primarily postsynaptic.”

    From Synaptic memory and CaMKII (2023) · cites this paper as [31]

    The Introduction says presynaptic mechanisms can play an important, even dominant, role in some experimental situations. The Discussion concludes that early LTP can be entirely presynaptic, entirely postsynaptic, or a combination of both. The paper therefore does not treat presynaptic expression as merely a minor possibility or postsynaptic expression as generally predominant. (LLM, conf=0.93)

  • gluN2B is a receptor essential to form LTP.

    “Among them, miR-223, which targets the AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) and the NMDA glutamate receptor gluN2B [33] and miR-181a which regulates only gluN2B [66], a receptor essential to form LTP [8, 71].”

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.
