Neuroscience - Long-Term Potentiation

Long-term potentiation is thought to be the molecular event that contributes to learning. Through synaptic plasticity LTP is established between various neurons, allowing for the learning process to occur. This video explains the molecular underpinnings leading up to LTP including both early and late phase changes. The video begins with the action potential and outlines the various stages required to establish synaptic changes. These synaptic changes lead to the formation of a stronger synapse and ultimately a stored memory within the brain.

It's funny to think that by watching this video I learn how memory works, and by doing so, the exact mechanisms that are displayed in this video IS HAPPENING IN MY HIPPOCAMPUS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK, I CAN FEEL THE GROWTH OF NEW SYNAPSES BY THE INFLUX OF CA2+ IN THE POSTSYNAPTIC CA1 CELL. THE ACTION POTENTIALS ARE AT A ALL TIME HIGH RIGHT NOW.

[@anni98dftba]

I thought the same thing and actually laughed out loud at this lmao

[@CarolRobertsonPsychosensory]

Hi Paolo, you might love Havening Techniques :)

[@kutilkol]

you're high

[@happiestbeing77]

haha love it

[@zhiyubu1723]

It’s not a mechanism tho

[@stevenk113]

3:26 Well thanks for reminding me while I'm studying for my exam today.

[@annieslice2268]

How is it that when one person (or three!) explain this it makes absolutely no sense and this makes it seem so super simple! I don't understand how people passed exams without google and youtube!! thank you so much!! xo

[@CarletonUvideos]

Thanks for the feedback, Annie. Glad it was useful!

[@cindyo6298]

Lol, they read good textbooks.

[@42MapleTree]

I've watched a lot of videos about neuroscience. A lot are good, some are great, this was magnificent!

[@Psnowdog7]

A great deal of long-term depression happened while I was watching this

[@pallavisamaira1018]

😂😂😂

[@alejandrarincon452]

I'm studying this the night before of my exam. I understand I'm screwed.

[@user-vu9st6fd7v]

I'm studying this a few hours before my exams lol

[@billipta3573]

me too 😅

[@LesbianDrag0n713]

I'm studying this 26 hours before my exam

[@Urreasteve]

Wow! I can't express how glad I am that I found this video. My book was not able to explain it as clear as this presentation, my understanding of this subject just expanded because of this video. Thanks!

[@Tphransis]

Being able to visualize this helps so much more than just reading and looking at pictures in the textbook. I don't think I'll ever forget this now, thanks !

[@hannahmendelsohn8893]

By far the best video I've seen! thanks

[@zenzaiL4D]

I'd like to thank all the people involved in making this very informative video. LTP is a rather complex process and you have managed to make a video that explains the phenomenon in a precise way which makes the concept easier to comprehend. Thank you!

[@Bidia280795]

Thank you for your explanation! Made an hour long lecture much more understandable and bearable!!

[@daniel88165]

I feel so much better about taking this biopsych final now! Thank you!

[@likeyou3317]

Best explanation I've come across so far. Gr8 animation!

[@XreemeoX]

THANKS SOOOOOO SOOOO MUCH, this helps a heck of a alot!!!! i can not thank you enough for making this clip!!!

[@court7694]

Seriously this video was so awesome!!!! It was so helpful to see the representation of the long-term potentiation and hear the very clear explanation of what was happening. Definitely recommending this video to people in my class. Thank you!

[@Daniel-er9mc]

This si what i already needed, You' re the best

[@vasiolast6824]

It's 7 years later, but still. It's a great explanation of the LTP. Thank you!

[@DerRebellTraumer]

The person or persons who created this video know exactly what they talk about - if anyone is doing psycho-biology this is a really helpful source since it explains simply - but in depth - what LTP is. For sure I am coming back for more, keep on doing these videos.

[@bws7532]

AWESOME VIDEO!! excellent explanation and one of the best voice over's I've ever heard! Great voice! And great explanation. Helped me understand it so much better!! Cannot thank you enough for this.

[@guilhermemorais8898]

It's perfect. Thanks from Brazil.

[@justinabagger8330]

This video changed my life

[@amaliaprat3685]

Thank you for the video! Is very clear and understandable, it has been a great help for me!

[@rebeccataylor973]

absolutely brilliant video - thank you so much! My lecturer couldn't explain this properly and through one video i've got it!

[@DraugSatan]

Brilliant! Dale Purves' "Neuroscience" offers some really in-depth stuff, but generally fails at mashing in small nails with big mallets, which we sometimes need when cramming. Succinct and precise, and gorgeously presented. Kudos!

[@OilersLBA]

Fantastic video, thank you very much. This hopefully was part of the LTP in my studying and the forming of new AMPA receptors which hopefully will last a long time!

[@estebanvenegas89]

This is what my teacher took an hour to explained, but explained very good in 8min, thanks!!

[@LiudmilaGlav]

our teacher recommended this video. It is impossible to make it clearer than here. thank you

[@aipenglew3493]

Concise yet well explained!

[@janellem3821]

excellent! very clear explanation for a very confusing topic! thanks a lot

[@hanihighest]

Wow, this is an amazing video. I when to lecture, read the notes carefully and read the chapter in Neuroscience book and was still not fully understanding this. After the video I understand it fully. Thank you.

[@saikumar802]

the best lecture with extraordinary explanation of the physiology of memory tq so much for your help and support..............

[@paolagotelli107]

Una maravilla este video! Increíble!

[@nadhirahbaharin.]

Just had my neurosciece lecture about long term potentiation and depression this week. I wasn't able to focus in class. Glad I found your video it is super helpful! Love from Sheffield

this was brilliant, and saved me from having to wrack my brain over written notes. thank you!

[@shantanusinha3609]

My primary interest and major is in Computer Science but I have very strong interest in Neuroscience, as well. I had difficulties understanding the working of synapse and neurotransmitters for memory. This video is very informative! My question has been successfully answered :)

[@teee488]

Really good video. Excellent animations and commentary. Beautifull!

[@Muuip]

Well done, Thank you!

[@LesbianDrag0n713]

This video summarises the process really well and is super helpful in revising for my test

[@user-vk3ox1mp4j]

This VDO is very helpful. Thank you so muchh

[@CDC1166]

Made it very clear!

[@micaelabazan3869]

This was even better than reading Purves. LTP memorized in 8 minuts. Great!

[@beatrizmassis]

This video is great and very didactic! It helped me a lot, thank you!

[@gotit7628]

Very good video. Made the topic very easy to understand

[@HannahNguyen1995]

My professor should just show us this video instead of the 20 page incomprehensible power point slides. I was able to piece everything together so easily with this video. Great video!

[@Psychologielernende]

Great Video! Thank you very much

[@snoopysweethrt7]

This was so much more clear than my professor was!

[@MOHITKWATRA]

Amazing informative video of LTP

Thank you so much for making this great video! It finally makes sense (although I may need to watch it one more time to strengthen the connections, haha).

[@shreyaray5500]

This was super helpful, thank you!

[@isabello1906]

Very useful information provided by this video !

[@Tritdry]

Great video, thanks

[@katalinszabo5118]

Perfect. thank you very much. It helped me a lot

[@charlottephilipp1030]

That was really helpful, thank you soooo much

[@dannichols6261]

Kudos to the speaker, who speaks VERY clearly and at a good pace! It can be frustrating to watch a video on complex material and not be able to understand the speaker, or hear a speaker to talks too fast to follow well.

[@tobeij237]

great video! explained it better than my book thank you!

[@nassimkyu7647]

Great video thanks a lot 👍

[@FREDERICklkwokab]

Very beautiful and helpful Animation

[@thecoryaprilia]

this helped so much, thanks!

[@adelakasikova7441]

Really nice explanation! Thx

[@adrianschorghofer9305]

Gr8 video! Besides the misspelling of the AMPA- receptor (thumbs up!)

[@lanapyjama4053]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@BrooklynCat100]

Loved this video.

[@21eny]

Thanks for the video! It is a helpful supplement for studying for a test I have to take.

[@jaybyers8550]

Wow. Thank you for this video! My textbook really was not explain this in a digestible way (could be that there were no helpful diagrams and I’m very visual), but you guys made this very comprehendible! Seems as though many other people’s textbooks are also not very clear as well, which is interesting because after watching this it seems like a fairly straightforward concept. Could be that reading NMDA (especially when your brain registers it as MDMA because you watch to much Joe Rogan), AMPA and glutamate over and over gets a bit overwhelming and distracting from all of the actual concept of the function.

[@kaushalsharma2803]

Good explanation!

[@allaboutclinicalpsychology]

Very nicely explained

[@iamsoweird1357]

V helpful for my exam tomorrow, thanks!

[@joaorachel4114]

Excellent! Great video, it helps me a lot!

[@oliverrubio5286]

Thank you 💝

[@AbhishekVerma-uo1oi]

Nicely explained

[@WTFudgeFTW]

THANK YOU! This was awesome! I've breen struggling to understand LTP for such a long time! I'm giving a presentation about memory and plasticity in a few days and now I think I finally understood this!

[@Gourmetfetisch]

doing the same in 2024 haha

[@blessyvarughese9565]

Best explanation

[@tomtang2639]

jeez, much more concise than my lecture of 2h duration

[@rajsekhar4212]
