Long-term potentiation (ltp) involves repeated _____ electrical stimulation resulting in a _____ in synaptic effectiveness.
a. high-frequency; long-lasting decrease
b. high-frequency; short-term decrease
c. high-frequency; long-lasting increase
d. low-frequency; long-lasting decrease

Respuesta :

(C) is the most correct answer. With long-term potentiation, a high-voltage stimulus is attached to the neuron. Over time, this increased stimulation without time allowed for a refractory period will render the neuron incapable of firing when its depolarization reaches the proper threshold.
