Descriptor English: Long-Term Synaptic Depression
Descriptor Spanish: Depresión Sináptica a Largo Plazo
Descriptor depresión sináptica a largo plazo
Entry term(s) depotenciación
depresión homosináptica
despotenciación
Scope note: Disminución persistente dependiente de la actividad en la eficacia sináptica entre NEURONAS. Se produce por lo general después de una estimulación aferente de baja frecuencia repetida, pero puede inducirse por otros métodos. Parece que la depresión a largo plazo desempeña un papel en la MEMORIA.

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.
