Document Summary

Memory and learning require repeated long-term interactions between these cells. Memory is storage : long term vs. short term. 1. long term potentiation (ltp) an increase in synaptic strength-> memory formation activity dependent - be active and use informations, recall, practice , teaching, embarrassment use of information is a sorting process. It activates more proteins that can receive that signal ( nmda and ampa: these receiver proteins persist for up to several weeks. Ltp/ memory formation facilitated by organization: chunking : learning sets or related information, neuronal development. Basic structure of brain is determined by genetics as an embryo (embryonic) If multiple synapses active-> strengthens responses at synapses. Interaction with environment: levels of biological organization : a hierarchy, the biosphere, ecosystems, communities, populations, organisms, organs and organ systems, tissues, cells, organelles, molecules. All life is related- luca- look for evidence of this as the class progresses: unity and diversity.
