What (who) is heterosynaptic facilitation - definition

INCREASE IN POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL EVOKED BY A SECOND IMPULSE IN NEURONS
Paired Pulse Facilitation; Neural Facilitation

Heterosynaptic plasticity         
  • In ''Aplysia californica,'' modulatory interneurons release serotonin, triggering synaptic plasticity in motor neurons.
  • In modulatory input-dependent plasticity, Neuron C acts as an interneuron, releasing neuromodulators, which changes synaptic strength between Neuron A and Neuron B.

Neural facilitation

Neural facilitation, also known as paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), is a phenomenon in neuroscience in which postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) (EPPs, EPSPs or IPSPs) evoked by an impulse are increased when that impulse closely follows a prior impulse. PPF is thus a form of short-term synaptic plasticity. The mechanisms underlying neural facilitation are exclusively pre-synaptic; broadly speaking, PPF arises due to increased presynaptic Ca2+
concentration leading to a greater release of neurotransmitter-containing synaptic vesicles. Neural facilitation may be involved in several neuronal tasks, including simple learning, information processing, and sound-source localization.
