Note

  • 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.
