General Information
Term positive regulation of synaptic transmission ID (Ontology) GO:0050806 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse.
Also Known As "up regulation of synaptic transmission" ; "up-regulation of synaptic transmission" ; "upregulation of synaptic transmission"
