Here we show that β-agonists of norepinephrine facilitate the induction of both associational LTP and sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs) in acute slices of rat hippocampus in area CA3. Surprisingly, this facilitating effect persists when slices are only pretreated with β-receptor agonists followed by wash out and application of the unspecific β-adrenoreceptor (βAR) antagonist propranolol.
