The key implication of Richard Thompson's work, investigating the neural circuitry of memory, is that
A) the cerebellum, rather than the hippocampus, is the hey to memory in non-human mammals.
B) durable changes in synaptic transmission are the building blocks of all complex memories.
C) the prefrontal cortex is the primary area involves in the processing of sensory and short-term memories.
D) it may be possible to map out specific neural circuits that correspond to some types of specific memories.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Richard Thompson's work suggests that it may be possible to map out specific neural circuits that correspond to some types of specific memories, indicating that D is the correct choice. Thompson's research focused on the cerebellum of non-human mammals and how durable changes in synaptic transmission can result in the formation of complex memories, but did not mention the prefrontal cortex as the primary area involved in memory processing.
