LTP induction

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the process by which repeated stimulation of a neural connection strengthens that connection, making communication between two neurons more efficient. When certain signals are consistently sent between neurons, they cause changes at the connection point (synapse), such as increasing receptor availability or strengthening the connection's structure. This biological change enhances future communication, forming the basis for learning and memory. Essentially, LTP "locks in" stronger links in the brain's neural network through activity-driven modifications, making it easier for neurons to activate together later on.
