Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A memory engram is a specific group of neurons that becomes active when a memory is formed and is involved in the long-term retention of that memory. Short-term memory refers to the temporary storage of information, while EEG (electroencephalogram) and brain waves are measurements of electrical activity in the brain. Aphasia refers to a language disorder, which is not directly related to the retention of information.
