This state is established when depolarization activates NMDA receptors, thus promoting the creation of more AMPA receptors and dendritic spines.
This state only corresponds to input rates beyond the threshold theta-sub-m in both the CLO and BCM theories. One way to establish this state is the phosphorylation of the stargazin-PSD-95 complex, which immobilizes a receptor critical for this state. CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation of GluR1 helps maintain this state by increasing that receptor's conductance. The "local protein synthesis" hypothesis supplanted the "synaptic tagging" hypothesis for the establishment of the (*) "late phase" of this state, facilitated by CREB. Receptors important to establishing this state often respond to glutamate released by the tips of Schaffer collaterals. This state is established when depolarization activates NMDA receptors, thus promoting the creation of more AMPA receptors and dendritic spines. For 10 points, name this type of neuroplasticity, a persistent increase in the strength of the synapse between two neurons that is thought to be the molecular basis of memory.
