    learning and memory processes. Indeed, induction of LTP is observed coincidently with learning events in the hippocampus of free-moving animals and this learning-induced LTP occludes subsequent electrical induction of LTP in the hippocampus (Whitlock et al., 2006). Conversely, saturation of LTP in the hippocampus interferes with spatial memory formation (Barnes et al., 1994). A recent work demonstrates that in vivo artificial induction of LTD impaired recall of the associative memory while…
