Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these choices are related to the ability to alter connections between neurons. Long-term memory involves changes in neuronal connections to store information over time. Synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity. Long-term potentiation is a specific form of synaptic plasticity involving the strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity.
