- 1Declarative Memory"explicit" memory: Things you know that you can tell others (hippocampus dependent)
- 2Creation of Long term declarative memories depends on:Hippocampus
- 3What is the neural process that causes changes in the synaptic strengthLong-term potentiation
- 4Long term potentiationA stable and enduring increase in the effectiveness of synapses following repeated strong simulation. (stable and long lasting enhancement of synaptic transmission)
- 5What is it when a dendritic spine loses its connection to an inactive axon and switches to an active one?Synaptic shift
