Synaptic augmentation, the Glossary

Index Synaptic augmentation

Augmentation is one of four components of short-term synaptic plasticity that increases the probability of releasing synaptic vesicles during and after repetitive stimulation such that when all the other components of enhancement and depression are zero, where A is augmentation at time t and 0 refers to the baseline response to a single stimulus.[1]

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

Long-term potentiation

In neuroscience, long-term potentiation (LTP) is a persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity. Synaptic augmentation and long-term potentiation are Neuroplasticity.

Stimulus (physiology)

In physiology, a stimulus is a detectable change in the physical or chemical structure of an organism's internal or external environment.

See Synaptic augmentation and Stimulus (physiology)

Synaptic plasticity

In neuroscience, synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity. Synaptic augmentation and synaptic plasticity are Neuroplasticity.

See Synaptic augmentation and Synaptic plasticity

Synaptic vesicle

In a neuron, synaptic vesicles (or neurotransmitter vesicles) store various neurotransmitters that are released at the synapse.
