- What are the three temporal stores for memory? Why does neuroscience see fit to add a fourth store (that we call "remote" memory)?

Parents' experiences before conception can influence their children's later brain development. Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not. Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not. Gene expression cannot be altered by prenatal experiences but can be altered after a child is born.arrow_forward
