Document Summary
We grow them faster and for longer. Synapses in prefrontal cortex - 21 years: what general stage of brain development is unique to humans according to daniel. Stm (same as working memory) controlled by prefrontal cortex. If you cut our afference and efference of hippocampus (so it"s there but not connected) Brilliant past memories but cannot form new ltms hm. Visual: kittens raised in environment with black/white stripes. If you put them on one table and a bowl of food on a table in front of them, they do not understand horizontal movement. They cannot see vertical lines, they bump into table legs, etc. 86 billion neurons, 200 billion cells: name 2 types of cellular mechanisms of learning that eric kandell realised and won nobel prize. Ltd: name all 6 mechanisms of ltp in synapses. Even once brains are mature, synapses are formed and wiring diagram is stable, the connections can become more or less active spatial memory.
