## Step1: High Frequency Transmission### Long-term potentiation (LTP) is initiated by high-frequency transmission of signals between neurons.## Step2: GLUTAMATE### The high-frequency transmission leads to the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate.## Step3: Increase in Size of Postsynaptic Potentials### The release of glutamate results in an increase in the size of the postsynaptic potentials at the synapse.## Step4: Last Days or Weeks### These changes in postsynaptic potentials can last for days or weeks, indicating a long-term effect.## Step5: Fundamental Process for Storing Memories and Learning### LTP is a fundamental process for storing memories and facilitating learning in vertebrates.
