Changes in Synapse Strength
Answer
The BCM theory, short for Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro theory, describes how the strength of a synapse can change over time. Theory states that the strength of a synapse is determined by the level of activity in the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. If the two neurons are active at the same time, the synapse will become stronger.
