Computational Neuroscience
Potentiation refers to the process by which synaptic transmission is enhanced, leading to an increase in the strength of synapses following a period of activity. This phenomenon is central to synaptic plasticity, allowing neurons to communicate more effectively and play a key role in learning and memory. Potentiation can be short-term or long-term and involves various mechanisms, including changes in receptor density and neurotransmitter release.
congrats on reading the definition of Potentiation. now let's actually learn it.
