For almost one hundred years, interference was thought to be the main source of forgetting of consolidated memories, but currently evidence has accumulated that ________.
A) neurogenesis-dependent decay and molecular decay lead to the forgetting of generic memories in the neocortex
B) neurogenesis-dependent decay and molecular decay lead to the forgetting of episodic memories in the hippocampus
C) neuronal death lead to the forgetting of episodic memories in the neocortex
D) neuronal death lead to the forgetting of generic memories in the neocortex
