Terje Lømo

MD, PhD

Terje Lømo, MD, PhD, is Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, at the University of Oslo, Norway. He discovered long-term potentiation (LTP) in 1966 and with Tim Bliss did the first systematic study of
LTP. He has also studied mechanisms related to nerve-muscle interactions,
including the formation of neuromuscular junctions. He has provided compelling evidence that impulse activity controls contractile and nonjunctional membrane properties of skeletal muscle fibres, not putative
trophic factors as was generally accepted in the 1960's and 70's.
