Speed and Duration of Change
- How long does it take for LTP or LTD to actually take place?
- The change is often modelled as a permanent change. Is it? If not,
how long does it last?
- Trappenberg's figure 4.5 suggests that it happens in less than
a minute.
- It seems that it's going to take more than a minute for
a neuron to build or expand its neurotransmitter pump.
- Next week we talk about short term changes. Is it
possible that Trappenberg's figure is the result of
short term change?
