Post-tetanic potentiation can help recall memories because calcium levels in the synaptic knob remain elevated for an extended period after tetanic stimulation, causing a larger release of neurotransmitters even with a later stimulus.
jog a memory calcium levels in synaptic knob stays elevated for a long time such that a stimulus arriving well after tetanic stimulation as ceased will still release a large burst of NT
