Solutions For An Introduction to Brain and Behavior Chapter 14 Problem 2R4

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a phenomenon of formation or strengthening of new synapses with repeated stimulation of excitatory-neurons. It is the underlying mechanism of long-term memory. Long-term depression (LTD) occurs due to the repeated low-frequency stimulation.

In experimental studies, similar to LTP and LTD, LTPi and LTDi are found on the gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) neurons, which are the inhibitory neurons.

Thus, the blank can be filled with GABAergic.
