Pure lipid membrane increases strength of nerve impulses

A pure lipid membrane formed using lipid-coated water droplets exhibits long-term increase in strength of nerve impulses, called potentiation, or LTP. LTP is associated with learning and memory and emulates hippocampal LTP observed in the brains of mammals and birds. [Research supported by U.S. ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
