B)the fight-or-flight response.
C)orienting and defensive reactions.
D)receipt of reward or punishment.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kandel's study focused on the Aplysia, a type of sea slug, and found changes in synaptic connections between neurons during the processes of habituation and sensitization. These processes involve a change in the animal's response to a repeated or novel stimulus, and Kandel's findings supported the idea of neuronal plasticity in the context of learning and memory. The other options listed do not have as direct a connection to Kandel's research.
