Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a crucial mechanism for learning and memory consolidation in the brain. The hippocampal formation is known to be a key brain region for LTP induction, and it has been found that LTP in the hippocampal formation depends on the release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Therefore, the best choice is D, glutamate.
