4.13 Special Analyses of Trains
Sometimes the experimenter is interested in examining each postsynaptic response evoked by a stimulus
pulse in a train, in which case the baseline and synaptic response of each pulse is analyzed (as with the
‘two pulse trains’ in Fig. 4.12.1). Alternatively, the synaptic responses evoked by train stimulation can be
treated as a whole train object in a special manner by WinLTP as described below.
To determine how to analyze trains use the menu commands:
AmpFile -> Train Analysis...
to call up the Analysis of Pulses in Trains dialog box (Fig. 4.13.1).
Fig. 4.13.1. Analysis of Pulses in Trains dialog box.
For extracellular electrode stimulation S0 and S1, for Sweeps P0, P1, T0 and T1, it allows five choices to
be made:
1) Analyze no pulses in Train
2) Analyze the first pulse in Train, and then extend the detection over the whole train thereby
analyzing the whole train (Section 4.13.2)
3) Analyze the first/last pulse in the train by using the baseline of the first pulse in the train with the
response of the last pulse in the train (Section 4.13.3)
4) Analyze every pulse in train (Section 4.13.4)
5) Analyze every pulse but use the baseline of the 1st pulse as the baseline of all the pulses
(Section 4.13.5)
The check box to analyze, or not analyze, each pulse of Pulses is not yet implemented.
