Figure 2. LFS-induced LTD is only mediated by NMDA-R activation in adult and aged rats.
A. Averaged LTD expressed as percent change in the slope of fEPSP vs. time, recorded in slices from adult (n = 26) and aged (n = 23) Sprague-Dawley rats in the presence of the NMDA-R antagonist d-APV (80 µM). Note that d-APV prevents LTD expression in both groups of animals. B. Comparison of LTD expression as a function of the interval between slice isolation and LFS delivery in the two groups of animals in the presence of d-APV.
