2. Can LTP be produced by a SINGLE high frequency train?

  • Yes, implying memory for single events is possible
  • No, implying memory for single events is possible

3. Which of these is NOT true of hippocampus function re; memory?

  • Neurons have special properties supporting memory (e.g LTP)
  • Receives connections from ALL modalities (e.g auditory, visual, smell, emotion)
  • Receives connections from only auditory and visual sites
  • Contains multiple nested feedback loops (associative learning)

4. Which of these characterises Hebb's (1949) theory?

  • Memories are stored in the connections between cells (cell assemblies)
  • Memories are stored in the primary cortical areas (e.g hippocampus)
  • Memories are stored in populations of cells (cell assemblies)
  • Memories are stored in both the connections and populations of cells (cell assemblies)

5. What is the key premise of LTP?

  • If a high frequency train follows a low frequency train ie. slight depolarisation the high frequency train drives a bigger response. Enhanced by LTP
  • If a low frequency train follows a high frequency train ie. slight depolarisation the high frequency train drives a bigger response. Enhanced by LTP
  • If a low frequency train follows a high frequency train ie. large depolarisation the high frequency train drives a bigger response. Enhanced by LTP
  • If a high frequency train follows a low frequency train ie. large depolarisation the high frequency train drives a bigger response. Enhanced by LTP
