Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a form of synaptic plasticity where the strength of the communication between two neurons is enhanced and lasts for an extended period of time. LTP is considered critical for learning and memory processes. Excitatory plasticity, excitatory postsynaptic potentiation, and lateral potentiation are not specifically identified forms of synaptic plasticity critical for learning and memory like LTP.
