(neurophysiology) phenomenon that occurs when two or more neural impulses that alone are not enough to trigger a response in a neuron combine to trigger an action potential
the condition of being made easy (or easier); "social facilitation is an adaptive condition"

Paired pulse facilitation (PPF) is a dynamic enhancement of transmitter release considered crucial in central nervous system (CNS) information processing. The mechanisms of PPF remain controversial and may differ between synapses. Endogenous Ca2+ buffers like parvalbumin (PV) and calbindin-D28k (CB)

In this paper we review our research on the effect and computational role of dynamical synapses on feed-forward and recurrent neural networks. Among others, we report on the appearance of a new class of dynamical memories which result from the destabilization of learned memory attractors. This has i

BACKGROUND: Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM-1) is an autosomal dominant form of migraine with aura characterized by recurrent migraine, hemiparesis and ataxia. FHM-1 has been linked to missense mutations in the CACNA1A gene encoding the pore-forming subunit of the neuronal voltage-gated P/Q
