C)synaptic capacitance.
D)synaptic plasticity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "synaptic plasticity" refers to the capacity of synapses to be altered at the molecular level, such as through changes in the strength or number of connections between neurons. This may allow for learning and memory to occur, as well as for adaptations to occur in response to environmental or developmental changes.
