The strengthening of a synapse through repeated activation, making future signal transmission more efficient, especially in long-term potentiation.
From Latin 'potentia' meaning 'power, force,' from 'potens' (powerful) + '-ation' (process of).
Long-term potentiation is how your brain strengthens connections — the more two neurons fire together, the stronger their bond becomes. Practice makes permanent!
