How to Improve Synaptic Plasticity: LTP/LTD Mechanisms and Evidence-Based Training Protocols Synaptic plasticity improves when precisely timed inputs drive NMDA-dependent calcium influx above the threshold that triggers AMPA receptor insertion. That mechanism runs in every decade of adult life. Sleep, exercise, and high-intensity skill rehearsal all modulate it — chronic stress and sleep loss actively suppress it. ...
