I would like to know which kind of LFS (low frequency stimulation) I could consider using as a weak protocol to induce LTD in acute slices from 3 month-old mice.
I have been attempting to induce LTD in older mice as well, and to date have been out of luck. I know that this is an old question, and was wondering if you had found an appropriate protocol. I have tried 900 and 1800 pulses at both 1Hz and 5Hz to no avail. In the meantime, I have been using a depotentiation protocol: saturate with LTP (give second HFS to ensure maximal potentiation) and then do LFS, I use 900 pulses at 5Hz three times, separated by 5 minutes in order to see any decrease. Just wondering if you had found anything...
