Memory is ultimately a biochemical event and some researchers have suggested that memory is really a change in synaptic strength. This enduring increase in synaptic strength is referred to as
A)memory enhancement
B)iconic tracing
C)long-term potentiation
D)hyperpolarization
E)trace conditioning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the process by which synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation. This strengthening is a cellular mechanism that underlies learning and memory, supporting the idea that memory involves changes in synaptic strength.
