Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) involves a type of learning in which postsynaptic neurons become increasingly sensitive with repeated stimulation. This results in an increased likelihood of the neurons firing in response to the same stimulus in the future. LTP is a critical process for the formation of new memories in the brain.
