Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is released by neurons in the hippocampus and is important for the consolidation of long-term memories.

Answer: B
 Serotonin is not typically associated with long-term potentiation, which is a process that strengthens synaptic connections and is important in learning and memory.

Answer: C
 The prefrontal cortex is involved in the working memory system, which is responsible for the temporary storage and manipulation of information.

 The hippocampus is a key structure in the consolidation of long-term memories, but is not directly involved in working memory. The prefrontal cortex and other areas such as the parietal cortex are more important for working memory.
