Which process does not occur in LTP?
A) The AMPA-receptor mediated EPSP is facilitated.
B) Calcium influx activates protein kinases.
C) AMPA receptors increase in number and sensitivity.
D) NMDA receptors are highly activated during the expression phase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is untrue that NMDA receptors are highly activated during the expression phase in LTP, as their activation is essential for the induction phase. During the expression phase, the increased sensitivity and number of AMPA receptors lead to increased postsynaptic activity. Calcium influx during the induction phase activates protein kinases that facilitate the AMPA receptor-mediated EPSP.
