- A Forgetting, through gradual weakening of synaptic connections over time under usual circumstances
- B The cellular mechanism of memory formation (strengthening of synaptic connections)
- C Relaxation of skeletal muscle following a period of sustained contraction according to most researchers
- D Release of hormones specifically from the anterior pituitary gland in the majority of cases studied
Correct answer: B. The cellular mechanism of memory formation (strengthening of synaptic connections)
Explanation: LTP: long-lasting increase in synaptic strength following repeated stimulation. Believed to be the cellular basis of learning and memory.
