One of the fundamental processes by which memories are stored and learning takes place ________.
A) is related to changes in the degree of myelination of axons
B) results in an increase in the diameter of axons
C) results in a shift from aerobic to anaerobic respiration in neurons
D) involves changing the responsiveness of postsynaptic neurons to neurotransmitter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Learning and memory involve changes in synaptic strength, which can be achieved through changes in the responsiveness of postsynaptic neurons to neurotransmitter. This can occur through processes such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and synaptic plasticity. Axes myelination, axon diameter, and respiration are not directly related to memory storage and learning.
