Abstract

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.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
