Q

Visual and auditory aspects of working memory

A

Auditory - phonological loop

17
Q

Role and location of the central executive processor

A

Retrieve from and coordinate short term and long term memory
PreFrontal cortex

18
Q

Which part of the brain is key to forming new long term memories

A

Hippocampus gyrus

19
Q

How are new long term memories formed

A

Formation of intrinsic connections in hippocampus

20
Q

Long term potentiation

A

Synaptic changes that strengthen the synapse

21
Q

Which ion is needed for synaptic strengthening

A

CA2+

22
Q

How does long term potentiation strengthen synapses

A

Increase numbers of AMPA receptors on synapse
Increase size of dendritic spines

23
Q

What process decreases the number of AMPA receptors on a synapse leading to synapse weakening

A

Long term depression

24
Q

Why are connections to the hippocampus unnecessary in a fully consolidated memory

A

Only cortical to cortical connections are important

25
Q

Which calcium dependent enzyme is important for synaptic strengthening

A

CAM-KII
Type 2 ca2+ calmodulin kinase
