The process of long-term depression (LTD) was first discovered in the cerebellum by Ito et al. in 1982: Ito M, Kano M. Long-lasting depression of parallel fiber-Purkinje cell transmission induced by conjunctive stimulation of parallel fibers and climbing fibers in the cerebellar cortex. Neurosci Lett. 1982;33(3):253-8 Ito M, Sakurai M and Tongroach P. Climbing fibre induced depression of both mossy fibre responsiveness and glutamate sensitivity of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Journal of Physiology 1982; 324: 113–134. Check this source. | |||
