Abstract Extracellular Ca 2+ , synaptic transmission, and the activation of subsynaptic receptors are not required for the induction of long‐term potentiation of excitatory synaptic transmission at stratum radiatum‐‐CA 1 neuron junctions as long as sufficient depolarizations of the presynaptic terminals and the postsynaptic neurons co‐occur.
