Long Term Potentiation Flashcards
1
Q
Synaptic plasticity
A
History/experience-dependent change in synaptic transmission.
Increase if used more.
2
Q
Hippocampal transmission
A
Important for learning and memory.
Stimulate to induce AP’s. Modulate synaptic transmission and see what happens to the post synaptic AP.
3

A
Over seconds minutes = burst and then high firing. Then goes slowly back down.

up to 1 year world record.
