In this study, we examined the effects of pramlintide on Aβ1-42 and human amylin-evoked depression of long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaeffer collateral-CA1 hippocampal synapses.
In mouse hippocampal brain slices, field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) were recorded from the stratum radiatum layer of the CA1 area in response to electrical stimulation of Schaeffer collateral afferents and LTP induced by 3-theta-burst stimulation (TBS) protocol.
