10. 2, and 0.005 mM glycine (pH 7.4). For recording, the skin was removed and the brain was split open along the midline to expose the inner surface of the tectum. A low dose of α-bungarotoxin (1 μg/ml) was applied to the bath to prevent muscle contraction. As previously shown (12), this toxin treatment did not significantly affect the retinotectal responses.

17. The reversal of LTP is not due to a decline in the quality of the recording, because LTP of a similar magnitude can be induced after the reversal (n = 4 cells) (Fig. 4B).
18. For TBS, inputs were stimulated for 20 bursts at 5 Hz, with each burst containing 5 pulses at 200 Hz.

20. Whether an RGC input underwent potentiation or depression after moving-bar stimulation did not depend on the initial strength of that input. Both potentiation and depression were frequently observed at two independent RGC inputs onto the same tectal neuron after moving-bar training.

22. D-APV infusion in this tectum preparation effectively abolished the NMDA receptor component of EPSCs at the retinotectal synapses, without significantly affecting synaptic currents and spiking activity induced by light exposure (12, 13).
