TRUE

Explanation:

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a part of neuroscience study which means a persistent strengthening of synapses based on the recent activity patterns of any organism. It increases a long-term signal transmission between two neurons. It is also a subject research on the area of Alzheimer's disease. It was first observed by Terje Lomo in 1966 in Norway. Some other properties of LTP are: Input Specificity, Associativity, Persistence, Cooperativity, etc.
