TITLE Long-term potentiation and depression
COMMENT
Realization of Migliore and Lansky model of long-term potentiation and depression (1999). In contrast to the model of Migliore and Lansky, an activation of autocatalytic processes is controlled not by
postsynaptic depolarization, but by [Ca] influx through the NMDA
receptor channels.
