When rats are given drugs that block long-term potentiation (LTP)they:
A)develop stronger synaptic connections.
B)stop eating and grooming.
C)get easily lost in familiar mazes.
D)more easily recall where they've been.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LTP is a process that strengthens synapses and is implicated in learning and memory. Blocking LTP would impair the rat's ability to form new memories and remember previously learned information, leading to difficulties navigating familiar mazes. There is no evidence to suggest that blocking LTP would cause the rats to develop stronger synaptic connections or improve their memory recall. Additionally, there is no known connection between LTP and eating/grooming behaviors, so it is unlikely that blocking LTP would affect those behaviors.
