Potential is an unrealized or unused ability or attribute.

Human Potential

For an individual, abilities that can be developed into valuable or beneficial activities, or a professional career.

Potential Energy

Energy that an object has because of its position in a system where forces are present (e.g. graviatational potential).

Electrical Potential

The energy available from an inequality in the distribution of electric charges, the potential being that the charges could move from one point to another. This difference in electrical charge is expressed as "voltage" (from the SI unit, volt).

It is usually defined in the converse, as "the amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field."

What happens to your synaptic system if you don't use them?

If we don't use our synaptic system that leads to short term potentiation i.e short term memory. short term and long term memory depends on maintenance of synaptic potentiation. so if we don't use our synaptic system no new nerve cell for saving info will not be generated.
