Abstract: Long-term potentiation (LTP) is thought to underlie the encoding of memory, and a new study looks into how it might do this. The authors find that if LTP is induced in rats, and they are then transferred to new surroundings, the LTP disappears rapidly as the animals explore the new environment. But such a reduction is seen only if the LTP has been induced recently —older ‘memories’ are not affected.
