Definitions:

Long-term Potentiation

A long-lasting enhancement in signal transmission between two neurons that results from their synchronous stimulation.

Synaptic Connections

The points at which neurons (nerve cells) communicate with each other, allowing for the transmission of signals through the nervous system.

Glutamate

A major neurotransmitter in the nervous system, playing an important role in learning and memory by exciting neurons to transmit signals.

Learning

A change in behavior, resulting from experience.
