During LTP there is an increase in the number of NMDA receptors but not of AMPA receptors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During Long-Term Potentiation (LTP), there is an increase in the number of AMPA receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, which enhances synaptic strength and efficiency. The role of NMDA receptors is primarily in the initiation of LTP by allowing calcium influx, which then leads to various downstream effects including the insertion of more AMPA receptors into the synapse.
