title: 45Ca exchange in rat cortex slices in conditions of long-term potentiation.
abstract: Existing data on the role of Ca2+ ions in the development of long-term potentiation were used as a basis for studying changes in different Ca2+ compartments in cells in living rat olfactory cortex slices during potentiation. The kinetics of 45Ca2+ exchange were studied at 5, 15, and 30 min of potentiation. During the induction phase (1-5 min) of long-term potentiation, the fraction of tightly-bound intracellular Ca2+ decreased. There were no changes in the content of Ca2+ ions in other fractions at this stage. During maintenance of potentiation, which lasted 15-25 min, Ca2+ levels in the extracellular and intracellular compartments did not differ from controls. At 30 min, during extinction of long-term potentiation, there was a significant redistribution of Ca2+ in cells: the levels of free and loosely-bound Ca increased, as did extracellular Ca2+.
