Limbic System

Question 1

the ability to recollect events or facts that have a specific temporal and spatial context

Answer 1

Declarative memory

Hippocampus important

Question 2

ability to learn new motor skills

Answer 2

Procedural memory

Question 3

memory that lasts for fractions of a second to seconds. Most sensory systems include this type of memory, and the processes underlying this type of memory takes place in sensory cortex.

Answer 3

Short-term memory

Question 4

The type of memory that lasts for seconds to minutes

Answer 4

working memory

Question 5

memory that lasts for days and years

Answer 5

long-term memory

Question 6

The input to the hippocampus is from ___________ through a bundle of axons called the perforant path

Answer 6

entorhinal cortex

Question 7

Hypothalamic input is complex b/c the entorhinal cortex receives widely distributed input from many areas of __________, as would be expected for a structure involved in memory consolidation

Answer 7

neocortex

Question 8

a part of the cerebral cortex concerned with sight and hearing in mammals, regarded as the most recently evolved part of the cortex.

Answer 8

neocortex

Question 9

basis for memory consolidation

Answer 9

CA1 and CA3 (Ammon’s horn ) neurons undergoing long term potentiation

Question 10

Pick’s disease

Answer 10

Anger problems

Memory problems

Question 11

Dentate gyrus

Answer 11

contribute to the formation of new episodic memories

Question 12

Ammon’s horn

Answer 12

?

Question 13

The hippocampus architecture: where one layer of neuron cell bodies arranged in a spiral semicircle (the cells in the Dentate gyrus) is surrounded by a larger spiral semicircle of neuronal cell bodies (_________).

Answer 13

Ammon’s horn

Question 14

CA1, CA3

Answer 14

part of parallel input

Question 15

The hippocampus architecture: where one layer of neuron cell bodies arranged in a spiral semicircle (__________) is surrounded by a larger spiral semicircle of neuronal cell bodies (Ammon’s horn).

Answer 15

the cells in the Dentate gyrus

Question 16

CA3 synapses on?

Answer 16

CA1
NT: Glutamate
CA1 Receptor: AMPA, NMDA

Question 17

The ________ does
not respond to its agonist glutamate under resting potential conditions because the mouth of the channel is blocked by magnesium ions at negative potentials.

Answer 17

NMDA receptor

Question 18

NMDA stimulation by glutamate under depolarized conditions results in opening of Ca2+ Channel.
The influx in Ca2+ elicits an increase in intracellular calcium concentration, which stimulates the Ca2+-dependent protein
calmodulin

Answer 18
