synapsoitumisesta
Synapsoituminen, also known as synaptic plasticity, is a fundamental property of synapses in the brain that allows them to strengthen or weaken over time in response to increases or decreases in their activity. This process is considered a key mechanism underlying learning and memory. Synaptic plasticity can occur on different timescales, from milliseconds to years, and can involve changes in the strength of synaptic transmission, the number of receptors at the postsynaptic membrane, or even the structural formation or elimination of synapses.
There are two main forms of synaptic plasticity: long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). LTP
The molecular mechanisms underlying synapsoituminen are complex and involve the coordinated action of neurotransmitters, receptors, ion
