Is LTP input-specific?

YEs it is.

only those synapse activated during the stimulation train are potentiated. other neighboring synapses, even on the same neurons are not altered.

LTP is not associative. T or F?

The potentiaion occurs best when mutiple inputs are stimulated stimultaneously during the tetanus.
