C)Synaptic depression
D)Presynaptic depression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic depression is a type of synaptic plasticity that occurs because of a depletion of synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters in the presynaptic terminal. This depletion is caused by repeated action potentials, which lead to a decrease in neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic neuron.
