Rutgers General Biology 115 Exam 1
well answered to pass
Neural Development - correct answer ✔✔involves gene expression and signal transduction (nervous
system in the brain)
Neuronal Plasticity - correct answer ✔✔modifications to nervous system after birth; activity dependent;
"use it or lose it"
Synapses - correct answer ✔✔junction between neurons that tell the brain memories. When broken, the
memory is "lost"
What's the first step in the process of memory formation? - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus
What's the second step in the process of memory formation? - correct answer ✔✔Sensory Memory
What's the third step in the process of memory formation? - correct answer ✔✔Short-Term Memory
What's the fourth step in the process of memory formation? - correct answer ✔✔Long-Term Memory
What process is it when you retrieve memory from the long-term memory into the short-term? - correct
answer ✔✔Long-Term Potentiation (LTP)
What happens when sensory memory and short-term memory is not encoded? - correct answer
✔✔Forgotten
Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) - correct answer ✔✔encoding and reencoding memories; changes the
brain (stronger synapses/memory)
, Neuron - correct answer ✔✔Nerve cell
Emergence - correct answer ✔✔the whole is more than just the sum of its parts (ex: H2O)
