C)Increase the likelihood the neuron will fire and increase the number and sensitivity of AMPA receptors
D)All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During LTP, the first few pulses of glutamate dislodge the magnesium ions from the NMDA receptor, allowing sodium and calcium ions to enter. This increase in ion flow increases the likelihood the neuron will fire and also increases the number and sensitivity of AMPA receptors. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
