How was long-term potentiation (LTP) affected in genetically modified mice with extra NMDA receptors?
A) LTP was delayed.
B) LTP was induced more readily.
C) LTP did not occur.
D) The rate of LTP was normal at first but then it decreased.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetically modified mice with extra NMDA receptors had a higher concentration of glutamate binding to the receptors, thereby increasing the probability of Ca2+ influx and promoting LTP. As a result, LTP was induced more readily in these mice.
