Question Answered step-by-step Fill in the blanks (please bold your answers). Neurons that fire… Fill in the blanks (please bold your answers).Neurons that fire together _____________ together.In long-term potentiation, a weak synapse is strengthened. This occurs when both synapses are activated at the same time.Specifically, a molecule of the neurotransmitter __________________ binds to an NMDA receptor. But, the magnesium (Mg+) ion is blocking the ion channel, so Ca+ ions cannot enter. However, if that postsynaptic neuron fires, the Mg+ ion will be ejected. This allows ______________ ions to flow into the postsynaptic neuron. When these ________________ ions flow into the postsynaptic neuron, they cause ____________ receptors to move to the dendritic spines on the postsynaptic neurons. With a surplus of these _________________ receptors, Na+ ions can more easily flow into the postsynaptic neuron. The influx of Na+ ions cause the postsynaptic neuron to depolarize.This is the physiological process by which a synapse is strengthened in long term potentiation.
