ADX47273 enhances PP-LFS induced LTD in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. (A) Normalized fEPSP slopes recorded in CA1 from slices from wild-type mice. Interleaved experiments were performed in the presence of vehicle or ADX47273. LTD was significantly enhanced in the presence of the mGluR5 PAM. The PP-LFS protocol consisted of 900 pairs of stimuli (40-msec inter-stimulus interval) delivered at 1 Hz for 15 min. (B) PP-LFS failed to induce LTD in slices taken from mGluR5−/− mice. ADX47273 had no effect on mGluR5−/− slices. PP-LFS protocol consists of 900 pairs of stimuli (40-msec inter-stimulus interval) delivered at 1 Hz for 15 min.
