After _____ occurs, an affected brain cell will respond more strongly to messages from other cells.Thus, the brain uses this mechanism to form lasting memories.
A)redintegration
B)long-term potentiation
C)constructive processing
D)engram induction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process that occurs in the brain after repeated stimulation of a neuron. This causes the affected neuron to become more sensitive to incoming signals, leading to enhanced communication between neurons, and is an important mechanism for the formation of lasting memories. Redintegration refers to the process of recalling the elements and details of a memory from a partial cue. Constructive processing refers to the way in which memories can be influenced and changed by various factors. Engram induction is the hypothetical process by which a memory trace or engram is formed in the brain. None of these options fit the provided explanation as well as option B: long-term potentiation.
