The increase in neurotransmitter during LTP is due to release of:
A)Protein in the synapse,which stimulates neurotransmitter production
B)Nitric oxide,which stimulates neurotransmitter release
C)Sodium ions,which block the reuptake of neurotransmitter
D)All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) involves various mechanisms that increase neurotransmitter release in the synapse. This includes the release of proteins that stimulate neurotransmitter production, the action of nitric oxide which stimulates neurotransmitter release, and the role of sodium ions in blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters. All these processes contribute to the enhanced synaptic transmission characteristic of LTP.
