[Neuroscience] Regarding ACSF LTP field recordings in dentate gyrus

[Kimberly Scobie]

Hi
Can anyone give me some advice on how to increase the responses I'm
getting while field recording in the dentate gyrus in slices for
ACSF LTP?
My responses are tiny (-0.6mV/ms slope is the max response I can
get) and although it seems like I am able to get about 15% LTP, the
responses are so small that I don't trust it. I've been told that
responses around -1 to -2 mv/ms slope are normal.
I appreciate any info anyone can offer!
Thanks!
Kim
