TL;DR
It is reported that repeated induction of LTD on one input was associated with a heterosynaptic reversal of the LTP previously induced on a separate pathway, indicating that repeated inductions on one group of afferents can reset synaptic efficacy at other nonactivated synapses.
Abstract
Experiments in which several high and/or low frequency stimulation patterns were applied to different groups of afferents in CA1 hippocampal slices revealed the existence of heterosynaptic interactions between LTP and LTD. Specifically, we report that repeated induction of LTD on one input was associated with a heterosynaptic reversal of the LTP previously induced on a separate pathway. Reapplication of high frequency stimulation at the end of the experiment reinstated LTP. This heterosynaptic reversal occurred without modification of naive responses, and it was prevented by D-AP5, an NMDA receptor antagonist, or cyclosporin A, a calcineurin inhibitor. Similarly, induction of LTP on one input was found to reverse heterosynaptically the LTD previously induced on a separate pathway. This effect was also sensitive to D-AP5, it occurred without modification of naive pathways, and LTD could be reinstated by low frequency trains. These results indicate that repeated induction of LTP or LTD on one group of afferents can reset synaptic efficacy at other nonactivated synapses.

11,542 Citations1993T.V.P. Bliss, Graham L. Collingridge
The best understood form of long-term potentiation is induced by the activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor complex, which allows electrical events at the postsynaptic membrane to be transduced into chemical signals which, in turn, are thought to activate both pre- and post Synaptic mechanisms to generate a persistent increase in synaptic strength.

Results indicate that the synaptic receptor in the Schaffer collateral‐commissural pathway may be of the kainate or quisqualate type and although NMA receptors do not appear to be involved in normal synaptic transmission in this pathway they may play a role in synaptic plasticity.
NatureIntracellular injections of EGTA block induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation
1,109 Citations1983Gary Lynch, John Larson +3 more
It is reported that intracellular injections of the calcium chelator EGTA block the development of LTP and this results strongly suggest that LTP is caused by a modification of the postsynaptic neurone and that its induction depends on the level of free calcium.
NeuronMechanisms underlying induction of homosynaptic long-term depression in area CA1 of the hippocampus
1,101 Citations1992Rosel M. Mulkey, Robert C. Malenka
Induction of homosynaptic LTD requires an NMDA receptor-dependent change in postsynaptic Ca2+ which may be distinct from that required for long-term potentiation.

A signalling pathway in which calcineurin dephosphorylates and inactivates inhibitor-1 increases PP1 activity and contributes to the generation of LTD, which is suggested to be an activity-dependent decrease in synaptic efficacy.

These conditions suggest a rule (called here the ABS rule) for activity-dependent synaptic modifications that differs from the classical Hebb rule and that can account for both homosynaptic LTD and LTP as well as for heterOSynaptic competition and associativity.

It was found that potentiation of one afferent tended to depress the target cell's responses to a second test input, and theories of long-term potentiation which have evolved from work on invertebrate and neuromusclar preparations may not be appropriate to explain synaptic plasticity in hippocampus.

To address the question of whether depressed synapses can still be potentiated and vice versa, LTP was saturated with repeated high- frequency tetani, and then LTD was induced with low-frequency stimulation (LFS), indicating that the same synapses whose transmission had been depressed by LFS were capable of subsequently supporting potentiation.

The data presented here indicate that long-term potentiation can be communicated between synapses on neighboring neurons by means of a diffusible messenger, which provides a mechanism for the cooperative strengthening of proximal synapses and may underlie a variety of plastic processes in the nervous system.

The available evidence suggests a role for NO as such a messenger in certain LTP paradigms, but it is unclear whether NO contributes to LTP under differing experimental conditions and whether other messengers, acting in concert with or independent of NO, contribute to a retrograde signalling system.
