Long-term potentiation refers to the process whereby:
A)the number of synaptic and dendritic connections between neurons increases with experience.
B)memories become fixed and stable in the long term.
C)neural pathways become activated more easily as learning occurs.
D)disturbing memories seem to gain in intensity over time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process where repeated stimulation of a neural pathway strengthens the synaptic connections in that pathway, making it easier for the neurons to activate each other in the future. This mechanism is believed to underlie learning and memory formation.
