BDNF gene expression in hippocampal CA1 neurons is necessary for LTD induced by antidromic stimulation (AP-LTD).
BDNF mRNA transcripts are rapidly downregulated during AP-LTD.
Different BDNF mRNA transcripts respond with distinct temporal profiles to antidromic stimulation.
In contrast to antidromic stimulation, abundance in BDNF mRNA increases after LTD induced chemically by activation of L-VDCC.
