Previous studies have demonstrated that prior synaptic activity can
influence the subsequent induction of synaptic plasticity in the brain.
Such temporal modulation of synaptic plasticity has been called
"metaplasticity." In this report, we describe the facilitatory
effects of high-frequency stimulation on the induction of homosynaptic
long-term depression (LTD) in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus.
The LTD induced by low-frequency stimulation (1 Hz) protocols was found
to be homosynaptic and NMDA receptor-dependent. The facilitatory
effects of the high-frequency stimulation-induced priming event itself
were found to be NMDA receptor-independent and to have a duration of at
least 90 min. The effects of priming also were heterosynaptic, because
the induction of synaptic plasticity by low-frequency stimulation was
enhanced at an unprimed synaptic pathway after the priming of an
independent pathway. In addition to enhancing LTD, priming also
enhanced the reversal of long-term potentiation elicited by a 5 Hz
depotentiation protocol. Our results provide examples of how
metaplasticity may play a key role in the ongoing modulation of the
induction and stabilization of alterations in synaptic strength.
