Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is defined as high frequency electrical stimulation of cells, making them more sensitive to subsequent stimulation. It is also linked to learning and memory, making choice D (both a and b) the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect as LTP is not linked to short-term memory, but rather to long-term changes in synaptic strength. Choice E is incorrect as it includes an incorrect statement (choice C) and is therefore not the best choice.
