Learning and Memory Involve Changes in Neural Circuits Within Specific

question 120

Multiple Choice

Learning and memory involve changes in neural circuits within specific regions of the brain. At the cellular level, repeated stimulation of a presynaptic neuron may result in learning if:

• A)the stimulated cell produces action potentials with a greater maximum voltage.

• C)molecular or structural changes occur at the synapse.
• D)the amount of neurotransmitter released from postsynaptic vesicles of the stimulated cell decreases.
• E)the postsynaptic cell becomes more responsive to subsequent stimulation.
