“Long term potentiation (LTP): Essential in forming interconnected assemblies of  engram cells for learning and memory.”

About Lømo’s landmark discovery and first description of long term potentiation (LTP) in 1966 and 1973, and the wide range of research that has followed from it. LTP is one of the most important discoveries is modern neuroscience, providing a leading model of learning and memory in the brain, and the best example of Hebb’s rule: “Cells that fire together wire together.”
