Synaptic Plasticity:The ability of synapses (connections between neurons) to change and strengthen or weaken over time, which plays a crucial role in memory formation.
Long-Term Potentiation (LTP): A process by which synaptic connections become stronger through repeated stimulation, enhancing communication between neurons and facilitating long-term memory storage.
Neurotransmitters:Chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses, allowing neurons to communicate with each other. They are involved in various functions including learning and memory.
