The authors examined LTP induction in CA1 pyramidal neurons in organotypic cultures. Cells that expressed forms of NR2A or NR2B that were unable to interact with CaMKII failed to potentiate, but LTP was induced in neurons that expressed a form of NR2A that interacted more strongly with CaMKII. The authors speculate that differences in CAMKII affinity might account for the reduced plasticity observed after the developmental switch from NR2B-containing to NR2A-containing NMDA receptors.

Diffusional coupling between spines and dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons from organotypic culture was examined in this study. The authors observed that the diffusion across the spine neck varied from spine to spine and was regulated by pairing synaptic activation with bAPs. This might provide a mechanism for accumulating molecules within the spine head or determining the amplitude of synaptic potentials.
