During LTP, _____ enters postsynaptic NMDA receptors to begin a chain of events that leads to an increase in the number of postsynaptic AMPA receptors. A)Ca²⁺ B)Na⁺ C)Cl^- D)K⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During long-term potentiation (LTP), calcium ions (Ca²⁺) enter the postsynaptic neuron through NMDA receptors, which is crucial for initiating the signaling cascade that results in the insertion of more AMPA receptors into the postsynaptic membrane.
