The degree of potentiation is associated with synaptic number during the maintenance of long-term potentiation in the rat dentate gyrus

There is a considerable degree of variation in the amount of potentiation induced in different animals following the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). This variation provided us with the opportunity to determine what types of synaptic changes were dependent upon the degree of induced potentiation. To examine possible 'degree of potentiation' effects on synapses, we conducted a multiple regression analysis examining the relationship …
