Annotation description:Fig.6: "Electrophysiological characterization of neurocan-deficient mice"
- "No significant differences were detectable in basic synaptic transmission, e.g., input-output curve and paired-pulse facilitation (data not shown). In contrast, maintenance of LTP was disturbed to some extent. While tetanic stimulation of CA1 pyramidal cells induced a rapid and profound synaptic potentiation in slices from homozygous neurocan-deficient mice, which did not significantly differ from that of wild-type controls, the potentiation decayed more rapidly in knockout animals than in wild-type animals (Fig. (Fig.6A).6A)"
