摘要
Low-frequency stimulation of hippocampal mossy fiber axons in zincdeficient adult rats produced synoptic responses that declined in amplitude with successive stimuli. This response decrement is abnormal and suggests that the heavy deposits of zinc in mossy fiber boutons are important for synoptic transmission.
