Paper Assignment
1. First, consider the cellular basis of long-term potentiation (LTP). Where in the brain does this occur and what happens? In your answer, include details of the neurotransmitters and receptors involved as well as what happens at the level of the receptor to enable LTP. Also, describe the changes that occur in both the presynaptic and post-synaptic cells as a result of LTP.
2. Summarize the attached article " Changes in synaptic plasticity are associated with electroconvulsive shock-induced learning and memory impairment in rats with depression-like behavior" in enough detail that your reader will understand what was done in the study and what the results of the study were
3. Evaluate how the findings might apply to a clinical setting, such as Alzheimer's disease, anterograde or retrograde amnesia, or a condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
