Dorsal-Ventral Differences in Modulation of Synaptic Transmission in the Hippocampus
George Trompoukis, Costas Papatheodoropoulos
Abstract
receptors did not affect basal paired-pulse facilitation in either hippocampal segment. We propose that the revealed dorsal-ventral differences in modulation of synaptic transmission may provide a means for specialization of information processing in the local neuronal circuits, thereby significantly contributing to diversifying neuronal network functioning along the dorsal-ventral axis of hippocampus.
