Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boosting the production of the CREB (cAMP response element binding) protein can trigger the production of other proteins that help reshape synapses and transfer short-term memories into long-term memories. LTP (long-term potentiation) is a process by which synapses are strengthened and is involved in the formation of long-term memory, but it is not a protein itself. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that generally has inhibitory effects in the brain and is not directly involved in memory formation. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a psychoactive compound found in marijuana that has been found to impair memory formation.
