Using dendritic and somatic whole-cell recordings, combined with calcium imaging in rat hippocampal slices, we found that the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) was accompanied by a local ...

This phenomenon, known as long-term potentiation (LTP), has been well described at glutamatergic synapses in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that is required for the formation of new memories.
