Short Term Potentiation
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Short-term potentiation refers to the temporary increase in synaptic strength that occurs when a neuron is stimulated repetitively.
Key Features
- Temporary increase in synaptic strength
- Occurs with repetitive neuronal stimulation
- Important for memory formation and learning
Pros
- Critical for memory formation and learning
- Helps strengthen connections between neurons
- Short-term nature allows for flexibility in neural processing
Cons
- Effects are temporary and short-lived
- May not lead to long-lasting changes in synaptic strength
