Figure(s):Fiugre 3, 4
Annotation description:Figure 3: "As expected, Reelin bath application increases LTP under TBS in WT hippocampal slices as compared to control medium (Figure 3F). On the other hand, in the Notch1cKO, TBS fails to induce LTP. Moreover, the Reelin-mediated potentiation is absent in the N1cKO (Figure 3F'). Thus, we hypothesized that besides the impairment in Reelin-mediated plasticity in the N1cKOs, NMDARs function (Tsien et al., 1996) may be compromised in absence of Notch1."

Figure 4: "Based on the significant alteration in NMDAR composition and expression, we investigated NMDA and AMPA conductance using whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings from pyramidal CA1 neurons. The NMDAR/AMPAR ratio is decreased by 50% in N1cKO mice as compared to WT controls, whereas AMPA currents appear unaffected (Figures 4I,J). Thus, loss of Notch1 directly affects NMDAR composition and function."
