MeSH Heading: Long-Term Synaptic Depression
Tree Number(s): G11.561.638.355
Unique ID: D036881
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D036881
Annotation: note category: do not confuse with clinical DEPRESSION or DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS
Scope Note: 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.
