Synapses - Neuronal plasticity - Long-term depression
3 important questions on Synapses - Neuronal plasticity - Long-term depression
What is the function of long-term depression?
The function is still not completely understood, but it is maybe to form new memory formations.
What causes long term depression of a neuron?
- Prolonged low-intensity stimulation of synapses
- Stimulation of synapses after firing of an action potential
What is postsynaptic density?
This is an electron-dense thickening of glutamatergic synapses, receptors, cytoskeleton and scaffolding proteins, adhesion and signaling molecules
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
