Plasticity of Horizontal Connections at a Functional Border in Adult Rat Somatosensory Cortex
Figure 6
LTP of neurons that received depolarization without synaptic stimulation. (a) Schematic of connections. No pairing was given, only robust depolarization. (b) Example of PSPs. Gray traces are averaged baseline PSPs. Black traces are averaged traces 20 minutes postpairing. Traces are averaged over 5 minutes (15 traces) for both pre- and postpairing PSPs. (c) % change of PSP amplitude over time for the cell shown in 2. PSP amplitude change was averaged over five minute intervals. (d). Individual data: change in PSP amplitude (expressed as percent of the baseline PSP amplitude) for continuous representation plotted against discontinuous representation pathway for each cell that received depolarization only. Conventions are as in Figure 4.
