The coactivation of the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells in ___________ is reminiscent of Hebb's earlier cellular theories of learning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process where the simultaneous activation of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons leads to a strengthened synaptic connection between them. This phenomenon is often cited as a cellular mechanism that supports Hebb's theory, which posits that "neurons that fire together, wire together," suggesting that learning involves the strengthening of connections between neurons that are activated simultaneously.
