Behavioral stress facilitates long-term depression but impairs long-term potentiation in the hippocampus. Recent evidence in vitro demonstrates that the NR2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype glutamate receptor antagonist Ro25-6981 prevents the behavioral stress-facilitated hippocampal long-term depression. It is, however, unknown whether Ro25-6981 influences hippocampal long-term depression and long-term potentiation induction in vivo under stressful condition. Here, we found that infusion of Ro25-6981 (2.3 microg in 6 microl, intracerebroventricular for 10 min) 30 min before low-frequency stimulation prevented the facilitation of hippocampal long-term depression by acute stress in anesthetized adult rats. Moreover, infusion of Ro25-6981 30 min before high-frequency stimulation reversed stress-impaired hippocampal long-term potentiation. These results suggest that the NR2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype glutamate receptors are crucial for the effects of behavioral stress on hippocampal long-term depression and long-term potentiation in vivo.

D016194 Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterized by affinity for N-methyl-D-aspartate. NMDA receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity.
