C) Long-term potentiation
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a phenomenon in neurobiology where the connection (synaptic strength) between two neurons is strengthened when they are activated simultaneously. This process is often associated with learning and memory in the brain. The other options (A, B, and D) refer to different concepts in cognitive science and psychology but are not specifically related to the strengthening of connections between neurons.
