The induction of LTP by S0 stimulation (indicated by 'LTP' and up arrow below red triangles in the right
top panel of Fig 1.3.1) is produced by evoking by clicking the ‘Single T0’ Run Button which produces a
single Train Sweep of 100 S0 pulses at 100 Hz (not shown). The induction of LTD by S0 stimulation
(indicated by 'LTD' below red triangles in the top panel of Fig. 1.3.1) is initiated by clicking the ’Repeat P0’
Run Button which produces rapidly repeating Pulse P0 Sweeps for a set number of times (900 here),
once a second here. Since the Pulse P0 Sweep produces only 1 S0 pulse per sweep, this generates 900
S0 pulses at 1 Hz. (the LTD stimulation fields are actually shown in the Protocol Panel, EvokedEvents
tabsheet.

1.5 Acknowledgements
I would like to thank my colleagues in the Bashir, Bortollotto, Cho and Collingridge labs for help with the
testing of WinLTP, for both putting up with crashes, and rewriting your protocol files for yet another ("The
Last" ha!) version. In particular, I would like to thank Mascia Amici, Paul Banks, Marion Mercer, Stephane
Peineau, Phil Regan and Patrick Tidball. I would also thank Tim Benke for giving me his exponential
curve fitting C code, and John Dempster for helping me get started with Borland C++ Builder Windows
data acquisition programming. And finally, I would like to thank Graham Collingridge for providing a lot of
support for WinLTP, without which it would not exist.
