Saturation of LTP by nicotine application.
VSD recordings were performed from the granular layer of cerebellar slices (pre-treated with 10 µM bicuculline methobromide) to measure the spatial organisation of the effect of nicotine following TBS.
(Panel A) Images of background epifluorescence in stained cerebellar slices show the granular layer (GRL), Purkinje cell layer (PCL), molecular layer (ML), mossy fibre bundle (mf), and position of the stimulating electrode (yellow dots). Coloured optical maps of granular layer activity evoked by a single mossy fibre pulse are compared before and after the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity by TBS.
