Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LTP (long-term potentiation) is a phenomenon associated with the strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons, which is considered highly correlated with the formation and consolidation of long-term memory. Therefore, the substance in the "tea" that enhances the development of LTP should improve Callum's ability to form more long-term memories.
