Preferred term

Long-Term Synaptic Depression  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • A persistent activity-dependent decrease in synaptic efficacy between NEURONS. It typically occurs following repeated low-frequency afferent stimulation, but it can be induced by other methods. Long-term depression appears to play a role in MEMORY. Long-term depression resulting from repeated low-frequency stimulation in only the pathway receiving the induction protocol. It follows induction of LONG-TERM POTENTIATION and reverses it.
