Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) is a process that strengthens the connections between neurons in the brain. When two neurons communicate frequently, the synapse—the gap between them—becomes more efficient. This means that the same signal can produce a stronger response over time, making it easier for the brain to recall information or learn new skills. LTP is essential for learning and memory. It helps explain how experiences can lead to lasting changes in the brain. For example, when you practice a skill repeatedly, LTP enhances the pathways involved, allowing you to perform that skill more easily in the future.
