• C) lifestyle has no affect on memory processing the your neural networks. No matter what you do if you are genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's disease then you will get it no matter what you do.
• D) if a memory isn't recalled regularly, and the cell assemblies stimulated repeatedly, eventually the synaptic connection would weaken and thus we forget the memory.
