I am performing fEPSP recordings (Schaffer collateral-CA1) in slices from rat hippocampus, and I find so much difference in the PPF ratio from one experiment to another. Why is that?

Sometimes I do not see PPF, or even a weak PPD. But normally my PPF ratio values range from 1.50 until 3.00, with a average of 1.87±0.05 (n = 80).

Moreover, in some of my experiments, after having a stable baseline, when I evoke PPF protocols, the baseline somehow starts to potentiate. Is this usual?
