The mechanisms of long-term memory involve physical changes to synapses, such as remodeling or the formation of new ones, and neurons may grow more dendrites to increase synaptic connections.
1. Physical remodeling of synapses or formation of new ones<div>2. Neurons may grow dendrites to increase synaptic contact</div><div>3. New synapse may grow beside an original one to double presynaptic input</div>
