Damage to which of the following is MOST likely to cause deficits in long-term memory?
A) limbic system
B) hippocampal region
C) sympathetic nervous system
D) Broca's area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hippocampal region is an important brain structure involved in the consolidation and retrieval of long-term memory. Damage to this region can lead to deficits in forming and recalling new memories. The limbic system is also involved in memory but damage to this area is less likely to cause deficits in long-term memory compared to damage to the hippocampal region. The sympathetic nervous system is not directly involved in memory and damage to Broca's area is likely to affect language production and not directly related to long-term memory deficits.
