Can you peform such experiment on Hippocampus or somewhere on which LTP/LTD take place and examine effect on learning? -- Hideyuki Cateau:Laboratory for Neural Networks, Institute of Physical and Chemical Science Research (RIKEN),2-1 Hirosawa, Wako-shi,Saitama, 351-01 Japan Phone:+81-48-462-1111 ext.6195, Fax:+81-48-462-9881 E-mail: cateau@murasaki.riken.go.jp .
