Long-term potentiation may involve the formation of ________ within the postsynaptic dendrite, which then act(s) on the presynaptic element to increase the release of ________.
A) nitric oxide; glutamate
B) nitrous oxide synthase; GABA
C) nitric oxide; aspartate
D) nitrous oxide synthase; glycine
E) new NMDA receptors; AMPA receptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation involves the formation of nitric oxide within the postsynaptic dendrite, which then acts on the presynaptic element to increase the release of glutamate. This process is crucial for synaptic plasticity, a fundamental mechanism underlying learning and memory.
