Long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus is the leading
experimental model for the synaptic changes that may underlie learning and memory. This
review presents a current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting
increase in synaptic strength and describes a simple model that unifies much of the data that
previously were viewed as contradictory.
