_______________ may represent the first stages of memory at the cellular level.
A)Hippocampal potentiation
B)Long-term potentiation
C)Cellular encoding
D)Long-term encoding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a cellular process that is believed to underlie the first stages of memory formation. LTP involves the strengthening of synapses between neurons and is important for the formation of long-term memories. Choice A, hippocampal potentiation, is not a specific term and does not accurately describe the first stages of memory at the cellular level. Choices C and D, cellular encoding and long-term encoding, are not specific to the cellular mechanisms of memory and do not accurately describe the first stages of memory at the cellular level.
