Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hebbian learning is based on the idea that synaptic connections between neurons can be strengthened or weakened depending on the timing and frequency of their activation. The saying "cells that fire together, wire together" summarizes this concept, meaning that when two neurons are activated simultaneously, the connection between them becomes stronger. This forms the basis for learning and memory processes in the brain. Therefore, the best choice is C) wire together.
