Quantal analysis and long-term potentiation.
Quantal analysis is useful for assessing the pre- and/or post-synaptic locus of the expression of long-term tetanic potentiation with the condition, however, that the studied synaptic potentials have been evoked by single cell stimulations, as is the case with paired recordings of identified neurons. The application of this methodology, primarily with indirect criteria, has produced conclusions which dance back and forth across the synaptic cleft.
