MSH: A persistent increase in synaptic efficacy, usually induced by appropriate activation of the same synapses. The phenomenological properties of long-term potentiation suggest that it may be a cellular mechanism of learning and memory.,CSP: calcium dependent change in synaptic efficacy that is thought to mediate the memory consolidation function of the brain; induction phase lasts 30-60 minutes and involves NMDA receptors, maintenance phase last 2-3 hours.,GO: A process that modulates synaptic plasticity such that synapses are changed resulting in the increase in the rate, or frequency of synaptic transmission at the synapse.
