LTP, long-term potentiation; CA1; cornu ammonis-1 region; SC, Schaeffer collateral pathway; MPP; medial perforant pathway; n/a, not yet analysed.

Original data were published elsewhere(Nguyen et al., 2000a; Schimanski and Nguyen, 2005a; Schimanski and Nguyen,2005b).

↓ indicates less robust than B6. ✓ indicates similar to B6. Amygdalar LTP was assessed in the lateral-basolateral pathway.
