Which of the following statements about LTP is false?

Which of the following statements about LTP is false?

Which of the following statements about LTP is false?




  1. LTP involves an enhancement in synaptic efficacy that can last for hours, days, weeks or even longer.
  2. If one synapse (A) is very strongly stimulated (sufficient to cause LTP), and another nearby synapse (B) on the same dendrite is weakly stimulated at the same time, then the second synapse (B) will also show LTP.
  3. If one synapse (A) is very strongly stimulated (sufficient to cause LTP), and a nearby synapse (B) on the same cell is weakly stimulated a few seconds later, then the second synapse (B) will also show LTP.
  4. The requirement for coincident pre- and post-synaptic activity was predicted by Donald Hebb in 1949.
  5. Hippocampal LTP was first reported by Bliss and Lomo about 1970.
