Dendritic NMDA spikes are necessary for timing-dependent associative LTP in CA3 pyramidal cells

Back-propagating action potentials (bAP) and NMDA dendritic spikes have both been linked to long-term plasticity (LTP) induction, though it is unclear which factors are essential. Here, using electrophysiology and Ca2+imaging, the authors find NMDA spikes are a key initiator of LTP, and that bAP con...
