12. The stimulation protocol was established at the beginning of every experiment. The stimulus amplitude was kept constant at the minimal value able to produce a synaptic response (known as postsynaptic potential). Ten to twenty trials of repetitive stimulation from 0 to 20 Hz were tested.
13. Transverse slices of hippocampus from newborn rats and rabbits (2–5 postnatal days), 500 μm in thickness, were prepared using a drop-blade chopper. For recording, one slice was transferred to a submerged-type recording chamber (Medical Systems) continuously perfused with the standard perfusion medium (in mM: 125 NaCl, 3 KCl, 1.2 (Formula presented) 1.2 (Formula presented) 2 (Formula presented) 22 (Formula presented) and 10 glucose, saturated with 95% (Formula presented) (Formula presented) pH: 7.4). Recording electrodes were made from borosilicate glass (outer diameter, 1.2 mm, Sutter Instrument Co.) pulled with a Brown-Flaming horizontal puller (Sutter Instrument Co.), and filled with 3M KCl (50–100 MΩ). Simultaneous intracellular recordings were made with separated manipulators using a dual intracellular amplifier (Axoclamp II B). Monopolar electrical stimulation was applied via tungsten electrodes at mossy fibers simultaneously with intracellular recordings. The stimulus duration was 100 μs. See 8 for more details on the stimulation protocol.

21. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a mechanism by which repetitive stimulation of a fiber enhances its excitatory synaptic contacts. It has been proposed to be a form of memory; see R. A. Nicoll, J. A. Kauer, and R. C. Malenka, Neuron 1, 97 (1988)
