Learning and memory involve changes in neural circuits within specific regions of the brain. At the cellular level, repeated stimulation of a presynaptic neuron may result in learning if:
A)the stimulated cell produces action potentials with a greater maximum voltage.
B)the postsynaptic cell produces action potentials with greater maximum voltage.
C)molecular or structural changes occur at the synapse.
D)the amount of neurotransmitter released from postsynaptic vesicles of the stimulated cell decreases.
E)the postsynaptic cell becomes more responsive to subsequent stimulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Learning and memory involve synaptic plasticity, where molecular or structural changes at the synapse (C) and increased responsiveness of the postsynaptic cell to stimulation (E) are key mechanisms.
