dc.description.abstractIntermittent fasting (IF) is a dietary restriction regimen that involves alternating periods of eating with fasting. Studies in animal models have shown that IF increases the long-term potentiation of neural transmission in different regions of the hippocampus in the brain. Using in-vitro electrophysiology techniques, this research explores to see the effects of IF in modulating the effects of synaptic plasticity, in the form of long-term potentiation, in the lateral and medial perforant paths of the dentate gyrus.en_US
