E) is not associated with changes in synaptic transmission.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) has been extensively studied in various neural circuits in the hippocampus, including the Schaffer collateral pathway, mossy fiber pathway, and perforant pathway. LTP is a form of synaptic plasticity that involves the strengthening of synaptic connections. It can be induced by a variety of stimuli, including high-frequency electrical stimulation, chemical agonists, and naturalistic stimuli like sensory experience.
