Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One of the ways memories are physically stored in the brain is by what process?
A
deep processing, which increases levels of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus
B
encoding which stimulates electric activity in the hippocampus
C
long term potentiation, which strengthens connections between neurons.
D
selective attention which increases myelination of memory neurons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In neuroscience, long-term potentiation (LTP) is a persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity. These are patterns of synaptic activity that produce a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between two neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain stores memories by changing how neurons talk to each other. When one neuron fires an actional potential, another neuron activates. Over time, this connection gets stronger. Scientists can watch this play out in real time by stimulating and recording slices of brain tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process involving persistent strengthening of synapses that leads to a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between neurons. It is an important process in the context of synaptic plasticity. LTP recording is widely recognized as a cellular model for the study of memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is a process by which synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation. LTP is thought to be a way in which the brain changes in response to experience, and thus may be an mechanism underlying learning and memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -When long-term memories form, the hippocampus retrieves information from the working memory and begins to change the brain’s physical neural wiring. These new connections between neurons and synapses stay as long as they remain in use. Psychologists divide long-term memory into two length types: recent and remote.
