|
Anterograde Amnesia
|
The loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused amnesia occurs.
|
|
|
Which Ion has the lowest concentration inside the cell relative to its concentration outside of the cell?
|
Calcium

|
The strengthening of a synapse which causes the synapse to produce about twice as much voltage in response to subsequent stimulations after it has received a high frequency impulse. This strengthening can be short-lived without permanent strengthening of the synapse or late LTP.
