Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The evidence that rats given an LTP-enhancing drug learned and remembered a maze better than rats without a drug directly supports the idea that LTP plays a role in long-term memory. Option A is a correlation and does not prove causation. Option B suggests the importance of acetylcholine for learning but does not specifically relate to LTP. Option C suggests that cocaine can induce long-lasting LTP, but it does not directly relate to the role of LTP in long-term memory.
