Research on the biology of memory involving the visual cortex of rats reared in stimulating environments and the stimulation of certain synapses in sea snails suggests that:

A) the engram is generalized throughout the entire cortex.
B) myelination is not critical to memory formation in the brain.
C) neurotransmitters have no role to play in memory processes.
D) neural events may be involved in memory.

Question

Anais Bermudez · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The research suggests that neural events may be involved in memory, as the study of the visual cortex of rats and stimulation of synapses in sea snails both relate to the role of neurons in memory formation. The other answer choices are not supported by the research mentioned.
