A researcher identifies a neuron in the brain that sends signals to a second neuron.After stimulating the neurons,the researcher finds that the signal being sent between the neurons is stronger than before.Which phenomenon can explain this result?
A)synaptic pruning
B)hippocampal potentiation
C)long-term potentiation
D)cellular encoding
