1
Q
HM
A
Suffered from epilepsy
Had surgery
A lot involved
2
Q
RB
A
Bouts of anoxia due to cardiac arrest
less involved than HM
Damage to CA1 of hippocampus
3
Q
Rodents study
A
Showed spatial learning and memory depends on the hippocampus
4
Q
Studies of HM, RB, and others
A
Formation of declarative memories depends on the hippocampus and its subcortical connections to the mammillary bodies and dorsal thalamus
5
Q
Declarative short term
A
Hippocampus and related structures
6
Q
Declarative long term
A
Cortical sites
- Wernicke’s area for meaning of words
- Temporal cortex for the memories of objects and faces
7
Q
Nondeclarative short term
A
Widespread
8
Q
Nondeclarative long term
A
Cerebellum
Basal ganglia
Premotor cortex
9
Q
LTP protocol
A
Basline- low freq and low intensity- AMPA receptors
High freq and high intensity- NMDA receptors
