To select an experimental phase, use the phase navigation drop down menu. Data from the
LTP Induction phase is displayed in blue. Data from all other phases is shown as an overlay
of both pathways in red (pathway S1) and black (pathway S2) for each sweep.

Select Electrodes for Analysis

Click "Select" to define electrodes with somatic or dendritic signals in the raw data display.

Similar to LTP-Director, you can select up to four electrodes for analysis, and label them as
dendritic or somatic according to whether they show either somatic signals (PS = population
spikes) or dendritic signals (EPSP = excitatory postsynaptic potential). To label an electrode as
somatic, just click it. The electrode will be marked with a small blue square in the upper left
corner. To label an electrode as dendritic, hold the Shift key and click it. The electrode will be
labeled in green. To remove a selection, click on the blue or green square again. For comparison,
please read chapter "Control Window Test Mode".

The data of selected electrodes will be displayed and analyzed in the analysis mode
(see chapter "Analysis Mode").

Stimulation Electrodes

The stimulation electrodes that were used in the experiment are labeled in red (S1) and black (S2).
If there has been an image in the back of the stimulation electrode field in LTP-Director,
the image appears in LTP-Analyzer respectively.
