N
• mice exhibit normal pyramidal cell density and paired-pulse ratios
• fewer PDGFRalpha+ cells due to reduced proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells
• theta burst stimulation fails to increase field excitatory postsynaptic potential slopes unlike in wild-type mice
• postsynaptic potential slopes unlike in wild-type mice
• mice lack NMDAr-dependent LTP
• in a 200 Hz high frequency stimulation protocol
