• Long-term potentiation--a decade of progress?

  Malenka RC, Nicoll RA. Science. 1999; 285 (5435): 1870-4

  Long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus is the leading experimental model for the synaptic changes that may underlie learning and memory. This review presents a current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting increase in synaptic strength and describes a simple model that unifies much of the data that previously were viewed as contradictory.
