Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a neural phenomenon that occurs when a rapid series of electrical shocks are applied to a synapse. This process typically results in an increase in the postsynaptic potential of target hippocampal cells, leading to a strengthened synaptic connection between neurons. LTP is thought to play a key role in learning and memory processes.
