[PDF][PDF] Short-term plasticity at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses is induced by natural activity patterns and associated with vesicle pool engram formation
Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) is an attractive candidate mechanism for hippocampus-dependent
short-term memory. Although PTP has a uniquely large magnitude at hippocampal …

Plasticity-dependent, full detonation at hippocampal mossy fiber–CA3 pyramidal neuron synapses
10.7554/eLife.17977.001 Mossy fiber synapses on CA3 pyramidal cells are 'conditional
detonators' that reliably discharge postsynaptic targets. The 'conditional' nature implies that burst …
