From: Latent toxoplasmosis impairs learning and memory yet strengthens short-term and long-term hippocampal synaptic plasticity at perforant pathway-dentate gyrus, and Schaffer collatterals-CA1 synapses

Figure 7

Enhanced LTP of PS and fEPSP slope at perforant pathway to granule cell synapses in T. gondii-infected rats. (A) Representative traces of evoked field potentials in the dentate gyrus recorded before and after HFS. The orange line shows the potentiated fEPSP at 30 min post-HFS period. (B) Time course of the PS-LTP in the experimental groups (n = 10–13). (C) Comparison of the mean post-HFS population spikes in control and T. gondii-infected rats during whole 90 min recording period. (D) Time course of the fEPSP slope-LTP in the experimental groups (n = 7 for each group). (E) Comparison of the mean post-HFS fEPSP slope in control and T. gondii-infected rats during whole 90 min recording. **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001.
