Question

WhAt IF? Suppose that a person with damage to the
hippocampus is unable to acquire new long-term memories. Why might the acquisition of short-term memories
also be impaired?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The plasticity of the neuron is needed for the formation of memories. There are two types of memories: short-term memory and long-term memory. The hippocampus is a part of the forebrain located in the medial temporal region.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei1) to learn about the basal nuclei (also known as the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. As shown in this video, the direct pathway is the shorter pathway through the system that results in increased activity in the cerebral cortex and increased motor activity. The direct pathway is described as resulting in disinhibition of the thalamus. What does disinhibition mean? What are the two neurons doing individually to cause this?
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei2) to learn about the basal nuclei (also known as the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. As shown in this video, the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through the system that results in decreased activity in the cerebral cortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirect pathway has an extra couple of connections in it, including disinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus. What is the end result on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiated by the cerebral cortex?

Please answer both.its all a one question. One way to classify brain regions is based on their function.

And what is 1 example of a cognitive function that would require the involvement of Multimodal Association Areas?
