Posttetanic Potentiation: How Neural Circuits Boost Memory
Definition and Context of Posttetanic Potentiation Posttetanic Potentiation, universally abbreviated as PTP, represents a highly specific form of short-term synaptic plasticity observed across various neural circuits. Fundamentally, PTP is defined as the pronounced, transient increase in the efficacy of synaptic transmission following a brief, high-frequency train of electrical impulses, known as a tetanus, delivered to […]
