title: Studies of dentate granule cell modulation: paired-pulse responses in freely moving rats at three ages.
abstract: Dentate granule cell population responses to paired-pulse stimulations applied to the perforant pathway across a range of interpulse intervals (IPI) were examined in freely moving rats at 15, 30, and 90 days of age. The profile of the paired-pulse index (PPI), a measure of the type and degree of modulation of dentate granule cell excitability, was shown to change significantly as a function of age.
