Category:GO:1990926 ! short-term synaptic potentiation
name: short-term synaptic potentiation
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process by which synaptic transmission, induced by the arrival of a spike (action potential) at a synapse, acts to increase the amount of neurotransmitter released in response to the arrival of subsequent spikes. This effect is seen when a train of closely space spikes arrives at a synapse with a low initial release probability. It occurs in a timeframe of tens to hundreds of milliseconds." [GOC:dos, GOC:sp, ISBN:9780071120005, PMID:11826273, PMID:26738595]
comment: The mechanism of short term potentiation is thought to be either increased influx of calcium into the presynapse (Zucker and Regeh, 2002 PMID:11826273) increased sensitivity to calcium (Jackman et al., 2016 PMID:26738595) or both.
