Disclosed are methods for enhancing learning and/or memory, enhancing memory acquisition, memory retention and recall by inducing a higher long-term potentiation in hippocampal neuronal synapsis in individuals. The methods include administration of 2-fucosyl-lactose to an individual. L'invention concerne des procédés d'amélioration de l'apprentissage et/ou de la mémoire, d'amélioration de l'acquisition de la mémoire, de la rétention et du rappel de la mémoire, par l'induction d'une potentialisation à long terme supérieure dans une synapse neuronale de l'hippocampe chez des individus. Les procédés comprennent l'administration de 2-fucosyl-lactose à un individu.
