| long-term potentiation | <physiology> Increase in the strength of transmission at a synapse with repetitive use that lasts for more than a few minutes. As a form of long term synaptic plasticity it is important as a possible cellular mechanism for the basis of learning and memory storage. It has been studied most extensively at excitatory synapses onto principal neurons of the hippocampus where it was first demonstrated. Selective inhibition of NMDA receptor channels has been shown to block long-term potentiation and to block spatial learning. (12 Dec 1998) |

| long-terminal repeat | <molecular biology> Identical DNA sequences, several hundred nucleotides long, found at either end of transposons and the proviral DNA, formed by reverse transcription of retroviral RNA. They are thought to have an essential role in integrating the transposon or provirus into the host DNA. Long terminal repeats have inverted repeats, that is, sequences close to either end are identical when read in opposite directions. In proviruses the upstream long-terminal repeat acts as a promoter and enhancer and the downstream long-terminal repeat as a polyadenylation site. Acronym: LTR (15 Nov 1997) |
