Preferred Label : long-term synaptic depression;
MeSH definition : 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.;
