Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus is a phenomenon where the strength of the synaptic connection between neurons is increased in response to high-frequency stimulation. This process is believed to be mediated by NMDA glutamate receptors, which play a key role in the induction of LTP. Other neurotransmitter receptors, such as GABA and nicotine/acetylcholine, are not directly involved in LTP. THC (cannabis) has been shown to affect memory and learning but is not typically involved in the process of LTP.
