Across
  1. 2. The long-lasting strengthening of the synaptic connections of neurons resulting in the enhanced functioning of the neurons.
  2. 3. Involves existing neurons forming new axon terminals and dendrites to allow new connections to be made.
  3. 4. Changes in the structure and function of neural networks in the brain as a result of experience, learning, memory and damage to the brain (trauma).
Down
  1. 1. Growth of new synaptic connections between neurons
  2. 5. The long-lasting decrease in the strength of synaptic transmission.
