Document Summary

Later, cs = cr (b) operant conditioning memory is formed by pairing action with a punishment or reward: priming, procedural. Forgetting increases with increased neurogenesis: more neurogenesis, more forgetting, synaptic plasticity: changing the strength of synapsis (change in the number of points of contact (cid:271)et(cid:449)ee(cid:374) a (cid:374)euro(cid:374)"s ter(cid:373)i(cid:374)als a(cid:374)d a(cid:374)other (cid:374)euro(cid:374)"s de(cid:374)drites). Increase in ampa receptor sensitivity (ampa gets phosphorylated, and allows more na+ to come in per glutamate binding) Number of ampa receptors increases (more can get added) Dendritic growth (dendrite can grow wider and allow room for more ampa receptors: agonists facilitate normal function of neurotransmitters, antagonists opposite function of agonists, ltp induction induction (starting) of long-term potentiation. Ltp expression expression of long-term potentiation (after ltp has started: nmda and ampa antagonists (a more specific way of saying glutamate antagonists) will inhibit ltp induction, only ampa antagonists will inhibit ltp expression.
