[Correlates of membrane metabolism and long-term potentiation in slices of rat cerebral cortex].

A group of interrelated parameters of the membrane metabolism was studied during stimulation of the lateral olfactory tract in the rat brain slices of olfactory cortex. All the parameters were studied in respect to electrical activity of the slices in three temporal points after the tetanisation: 3-5, 15, and 30 min. Regular phasic alterations of the metabolism parameters occurred in most of the cases. Their functional significance is discussed.
