The researchers also looked at a molecular correlate of memory called long-termpotentiation, or LTP, a mechanism that strengthens connections between neurons.
PubMed abstract: Long-termpotentiation (LTP) is an enhancement of synaptic strength that can be produced by pairing of presynaptic activity with postsynaptic depolarization.
