Long-term potentiation involves:
A)Inhibition of a neuron
B)Synaptic strengthening following repeated stimulation
C)Increasing threshold to initiate a neural response
D)At least one complex path of neurons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation refers to the strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons following repeated stimulation, leading to more efficient communication between neurons. This process is thought to be an important mechanism underlying learning and memory. Options A and C refer to different types of neural modulation, while option D is more broadly defined and may or may not apply to the specific process of long-term potentiation.
