Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process by which synaptic connections between neurons become strengthened over time, resulting in more efficient communication between those neurons. Spatial learning, which involves the formation of cognitive maps of physical space, has been shown to involve LTP-like processes, particularly in the hippocampus region of the brain. Language learning, formation of flashbulb memories, and habituation do not appear to involve processes similar to LTP.
