| Abstract | In conditions of facilitated synaptic release, CA3/CA1 synapses generate anomalously slow NMDA receptor-mediated EPSCs (EPSCNMDA). Such a time course has been attributed to the cooperation of synapses through glutamate spillover. Imitating a natural pattern of activity, we have applied short bursts (2–7 stimuli) of high-frequency stimulation and observed a spike-to-spike slow-down of the EPSCNMDA kinetics, which accompanied synaptic facilitation. It was found that the early component of the EPSCNMDA and the burst-induced late component of the EPSCNMDA have distinct pharmacological properties. The competitive NMDA antagonist R-(—)-3-(2-carboxypiperazine-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (D-CPP), which has higher affinity to NR2A than to NR2B subunits and lowest affinity at NR2D subunits, significantly slowed down the decay rate of the afterburst EPSC while leaving the kinetics of the control current unaffected. In contrast, ifenprodil, a highly selective NR2B antagonist, and [±]-cis-1-[phenanthren-2yl-carbonyl]piperazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (PPDA), a competitive antagonist that is moderately selective for NR2D subunits, more strongly inhibited the late component of the afterburst EPSCNMDA. The receptors formed by NR2B and (especially) NR2D subunits are known to have higher agonist sensitivity and much slower deactivation kinetics than NR2A-containing receptors. Furthermore, NR2B is preferentially and NR2D is exclusively located on extrasynaptic membranes. As the density of active synapses increases, the confluence of released glutamate makes EPSC decay much longer by activating more extrasynaptic NR2B- and NR2D-subunit-containing receptors. Long-term potentiation (LTP) induced by successive rounds of burst stimulation is accompanied by a long-term increase in the contribution of extrasynaptic receptors in the afterburst EPSCNMDA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
