Abstract
Polarized debate continues regarding the locus of the modification responsible for the enhancement of synaptic transmission during long-term potentiation (LTP) in CAl hippocampus, a widely studied cellular model of learning and memory. Two recent papers (1, 2) have shed light using techniques in which only one or a few axons are stimulated. In this way, transmission may be characterized not only by the mean amplitude of the response (as usual), but also by identifying failures (responses with zero amplitude) and successes of transmission. With LTP, these researchers observe a change in the rate of successes, but no change in the mean amplitude of successes (the "potency").
