Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting increase in synaptic strength that occurs after a brief exposure to high-frequency stimulation. This process is similar to the formation of long-lasting memories, which are also formed after a brief exposure to stimuli. LTP is not slow to form or subject to forgetting and decay (A), nor is it malleable and subject to persuasion (C). While LTP can be organized in accordance with the spreading activation model, this is not a defining feature of LTP (D).
