CaMKII functions as a two-way switch that:
A)Releases nitric oxide
B)Generates LDP
C)Strengthens a synapse
D)Triggers a pulse of theta waves

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CaMKII is a protein that plays a key role in strengthening synapses between neurons. It does this by phosphorylating (adding a phosphate group to) specific receptors on the surface of the receiving neuron, which increases their sensitivity to neurotransmitters released by the sending neuron. This makes the signaling between the two neurons more efficient and can contribute to the formation of long-term memories.
