TL;DR
2-Aminophosphonovaleric acid, a glutamate-receptor antagonist, suppressed both PP-stimulus-induced and L-glutamate-evoked responses, while tetrodotoxin blocked the former only.
Abstract
Calcium-dependent fluorescence of a Ca2+ indicator (fura-2) loaded in the slice of guinea pig hippocampus was measured by a microscope/video-camera/photometry system. Tetanic stimulation of the perforant path (PP) or application of L-glutamate caused increment of the fluorescence from the dendritic and somatic layers of the granule cells in the dentate gyrus. Magnitude of the increment depended on the frequency and intensity of the PP-stimulation or on the dose of L-glutamate. 2-Aminophosphonovaleric acid, a glutamate-receptor antagonist, suppressed both PP-stimulus-induced and L-glutamate-evoked responses, while tetrodotoxin blocked the former only. Thus the fluorescence increment should represent an elevation of Ca2+ concentration in the postsynaptic cytoplasm of the granule cells.

The present results suggest that the L‐glutamate‐induced [Ca2+]i elevation in the hippocampal neurone is due to an influx of Ca2+ through both L‐ glutamate receptor‐coupled and voltage‐sensitive ionic channels.

Brief trains of high-frequency stimulation, delivered to monosynaptic pathways in the hippocampus, can increase the amplitude of evoked potentials for several hours or even days, providing a dramatic mammalian model for the sort of enduring changes in synaptic efficacy which are widely assumed to form the neural substrate for learning and memory.
