Figure(s):fig 5; 6; 7
Annotation description:Electrophysiological evidences show decreased AMPA/NMDA ratio of eEPSCs and enhanced LTP at IRSp53-/- SC-CA1 synapses, compared with WT mice.

Furthermore amplitude but not frequency, of NMDA receptor-mediated mEPSCs is enhanced at IRSp53-/- SC-CA1 synapses and enhanced NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission during the delivery of TBS.
