Protein kinases play critical roles in learning and memory and in long term potentiation (LTP), a form of synaptic plasticity. The induction of late-phase LTP (L-LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocam
For short-time scale, instantaneous change of postsynaptic [Ca2+]i is α and its average over a long time is β. The difference (α−β) integrated over a short time (∫(α−β)dt) indicates whether the CF act
