One basic physiological mechanism for learning is the ______ rule,which states that if a synapse between two neurons is repeatedly activated at about the same time the postsynaptic neuron fires,the chemistry of the synapse changes.
A) Carlson
B) Hebb
C) Baddeley
D) Tulving
Hebb Rule
a theory in neuroscience that proposes an increase in synaptic efficacy arises from the presynaptic cell's repeated and persistent stimulation of the postsynaptic cell.
Synapse
A junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
Long-Term Potentiation
A process, hypothesized to be a mechanism for long-term learning, in which neural circuits in the hippocampus are subjected to repeated and intense electrical stimulation, resulting in hippocampal cells that are more sensitive to stimuli than they were previously.
