week 10- learning and memory

Question 1

case hm- bilateral med temp lobectomy

Answer 1

sufferer eplepsy
removed hippocampus’
amygdala
adjacent limbic cortex

treated but caused amnesia

Question 2

effecting

Answer 2

–STM in tact- normal 7 plus minus 2 range)
–LTM- impaired-unable recall recent past events last 2 years- RETROGRADE
unable new mem- ANTERGRADE
implicit LTM intact ( improved performance not remember how)

Question 3

findings

Answer 3

medical temporal lobes= specific mem
effect bilteral MT labetroy but STM mem in tact
supporting modal theory
and two parrell LTM- exlicit and implicit

Question 4

whats declarative mem ( explicit)

Answer 4

• hippocampus role in formation of LTM declarative
• inloved in consolidation- STM – LTM

Question 5

Consolidation

Answer 5

disrupted- lost mem
only involves tem story area for LTM, when fully formed declarative long term store permanently

Question 6

hippocampus and spatial memory

Answer 6

key structure
- lesions morris water maze

Question 7

emotional mem

Answer 7

amygdala- provides hippocampus in mem with emotional context (flashbulb)

Question 8

motor issue
confusion

Question 9

KS damage to

Answer 9

medical hypothalamus
hippo
cerebellum’ neocortex

Question 10

warehouse theoyr

Answer 10

mem result of sensory and motor and cerbral cortext

Question 11

learning=

Answer 11

interconnect cell— all activated— strength connection— create mem
reverberate= create LTM
prolonged reveration- creation

Question 12

Potential long term

Answer 12

change strength synpase= result firing or pre and post synaptic neurons

Question 13

medical temporal lobes

Answer 13

MTL not involve in STM/implicit mem
MTL not permanent for explicit (dec)
MTL involve in formation in LTM explicit (STM to LTM)
MTL medicated consolidation process is gradual
