ModelDB: Models that contain Post-Tetanic Potentiation

Model Concept: Post-Tetanic Potentiation

One of two components (the other faster one is augmentation) of a decaying fractional increase in Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials (EPP) following a stimulus train. The time constant of decay is about a minute.

Homosynaptic plasticity in the tail withdrawal circuit (TWC) of Aplysia (Baxter and Byrne 2006)
Stochastic LTP/LTD conditioning of a synapse (Migliore and Lansky 1999)
