title: Presynaptic mechanism for long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.
abstract: Experiments analysing the statistical properties of synaptic transmission, before and after the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), suggest that expression of LTP largely arises in a presynaptic mechanism--an increased probability of transmitter release.
