Long-term potentiation involves the insertion of AMPA receptors into the dendritic membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation is a process by which the strength of the synapse between neurons is increased due to repeated stimulation. One of the mechanisms underlying this process is the insertion of AMPA receptors into the postsynaptic membrane of dendrites, which increases the responsiveness of the neuron to neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic neuron.
