question 10

True/False

LTP (long-term potentiation)studies have shown that protein synthesis must occur to form dendritic spines to make more permanent changes in synapses to create long-term memory.

Definitions:

Absolute Threshold

The minimum stimulus intensity required for detection by a sense organ, signifying the point at which a stimulus becomes perceptible to the senses.

Noticeable Threshold

A threshold is the level at which a stimulus becomes sufficiently strong to produce a discernible effect or reaction.

Range Threshold

The minimum and maximum values within which a particular sensory stimulus, action, or phenomenon is perceptible or has an effect.

Receptors

Protein molecules on the surfaces of dendrites and cell bodies that have distinctive shapes and will interact only with specific neurotransmitters.
