LTP is thought to be an experimental model for studying the cellular mechanism of learning and memory. Shors & Matzel review some contradictory data concerning the linkage between LTP and memory and suggest that LTP does not underlie learning and memory. LTP is a cellularand synaptic process and cannot be a memory mechanism. In fact, it is a cellular information storage mechanism.
