neuronal plasticity			In the mature nervous system, Glu is pivotal in neuroplasticity, in which there are use-dependent changes in synaptic efficacy as well as alterations in synaptic structure (Tsai et al, 1995; Kristensen et al, 1993, Scimemi et al, 2005). Effects of exposure to low concentrations of nercury on Glycine ... by Ayensu, Wellington K.; Farah, Ibrahim O.; Isokpehi, Raphael D.; Lee, Chung; Tchounwou, Paul B. / Journal of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a widely used paradigm for increasing synaptic efficacy, and the induction of one form of LTP requires the activation of NMDA receptors (Collingride and Daries, 1989).
