Abstract :
A computer program is presented which was developed to quantify and analyze evoked extracellular field potential (EEFP) waveforms, generated in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus, as a result of perforant path stimulation. The software extracts information from the EEFP, which is of extreme importance to neuroscience in determining synaptic and cellular plasticity in the rat hippocampus. Consequently, this algorithm facilitates the interpretation and quantification of the EEFP waveform.<>
