| Question | Answer |
| Declarative Memory | "explicit" memory: Things you know that you can tell others (hippocampus dependent) |
| Creation of Long term declarative memories depends on: | Hippocampus |
| What is the neural process that causes changes in the synaptic strength | Long-term potentiation |
| Long term potentiation | A stable and enduring increase in the effectiveness of synapses following repeated strong simulation. (stable and long lasting enhancement of synaptic transmission) |
| What is it when a dendritic spine loses its connection to an inactive axon and switches to an active one? | Synaptic shift |
| Removing both hippocampi in patient H.M. resulted in: | Anterograde Amnesia |
| Place cells | Hippocampal neurons that fire when an organism is in a specific location |
| Morris Water Maze | tests spatial memory |
| what contains a magnesium ion (Mg^2+) and is critical for learning | NMDA receptor |
| Test for episodic memory | Rey Complex Figure Test |
| What does the Pyramid and Palm Tree Test evaluate? | Semantic Memory |
| What test is used to measure declarative memory in animals? | Delayed non-matching-to-sample test |
| Consequences of long-term potentiation | >increased number of AMPA receptors >Altered gene expression via second messengers >strengthening the synapse |
| Consequence of housing mice in an enriched environment | increased dendritic branching |
| Primacy effect depends on what memory system | long-term memory |
| "neurons that fire together, wire together" explains what phenomenon | Hebbian learning |
| Devaulation paradigm is used to asses what form of learning | Habit learning |
| When an event violates predictions made by the brain, which of the following neurotransmitters is released? | dopamine |
