Learning-facilitated plasticity is prevented by an antagonist of the NMDA receptor. Application of the NMDA receptor antagonist D-AP5 (n = 6, 19.7 μg) significantly prevents learning-facilitated plasticity compared to vehicle-injected controls (n = 6). Whereas presentation of a novel object-containing hole board during sub-LFS (1Hz, 600 pulses) facilitates robust LTD, when D-AP5 is given prior to stimulation, this facilitation is blocked completely. Analog traces show the field potentials preinjection, 5 min, 4 h, and 24 h following sub-LFS. Vertical scale bar corresponds to 3 mV, and horizontal bar corresponds to 3 ms.
