Document Summary
All have the same response so the strength of this synapse is all the same. Rst test number 1 by stimulating then record, then later test number 2 and record and then test number 3 and record. Number 3 is not stimulated at all (silent) - no action potentials are produced. The other 2 inputs are stimulated arti cially, one very intensely (a train of stimulation) and the other one just mildly but at the same time. Do this a few times, this is where you induce longterm association and then come back and test them the same way you did before. When you test 3, the response you get now is completely identical as before. Not surprising that number 1 has been ampli ed because it was intensely stimulated. Neuron 2 was weakly stimulated so it shouldn t have changed. Because it happened at the same time as the rst one was stimulated it changed.
