Long-term Depression

Professor Graham Collingridge describes the process of long-term depression (LTD), a way of decreasing the efficiency of synaptic transmission.

LTD is the converse of LTP, which basically means that it is a way of decreasing the efficiency of synaptic transmission. This could be used to reverse the LTP, if you like, to forget the information. Or, it could be used to encode different sorts of information.
