Short-term Facilitation

Short-Term Facilitation is a form of short-term synaptic plasticity characterized by a transient increase in synaptic efficacy following repeated presynaptic activation, primarily due to enhanced neurotransmitter release caused by residual calcium accumulation in the presynaptic terminal.
