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 phenomena can explain this result?
A) consolidation
B) cross-cortical storage
C) long-term potentiation
D) interference

Question

Long-term potentiation is a process in which the strength of the signal between two neurons is increased as a result of repeated stimulation. This is a mechanism for learning and memory formation in the brain. Therefore, it is the best choice for explaining the stronger signal between the two neurons.
