One approach to improving memory involves the administration of drugs that boost the LTP-enhancing neurotransmitter
A) glutamate.
B) propranolol.
C) GABA.
D) epinephrine.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glutamate is known to enhance long-term potentiation (LTP), a process that is thought to underlie memory formation. Therefore, drugs that boost glutamate levels or activity are potential candidates for improving memory. Propranolol and GABA are not LTP-enhancing neurotransmitters, and while epinephrine can enhance memory consolidation, it does so through activation of other pathways, not glutamate-mediated LTP.
