In
hippocampus, a transient burst of input activity leads to a long-term
potentiation (LTP)
of
subsequent synaptic transmission. This phenomenon has been considered
as a cellular
counterpart and attracted interest of many neuroscientists. In an
attempt to
elucidate
the molecular mechanism, I have been using a combined approach of
molecular biology,
imaging and
electrophysiology, which allows us to specifically "look", "mimic" and
"block"
the process
underlying LTP.
In this talk, I will summarize my results how
synapse
reaches the potentiated level and
what is the question now.
