Immediate early gene markers for of neural activity do not persist long enough to serve as markers for long-term memory engram cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immediate early gene markers are only active for a short period of time after neural activity, and therefore do not persist long enough to serve as markers for long-term memory engram cells. Other molecular markers, such as changes in gene expression, are thought to play a role in the formation and maintenance of long-term memory.
