A process that results in the elevation of response of a postsynaptic neuron for minutes or hours is called
A) long-term depression (LTD).
B) long-term potentiation (LTP).
C) neurogenesis.
D) synaptic remodeling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the process that results in the increased strength of synaptic connections, leading to the elevation of response of a postsynaptic neuron for extended periods, such as minutes or hours. This phenomenon is widely considered one of the major cellular mechanisms that underlies learning and memory.
