Question
Chapter 8, Problem 9RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The part of the brain associated with the consolidation of short-term memory into long term memory.
Introduction:
It is revealed by the studies that memory storage and retrieval are the tasks associated with different regions of the brain. The conversion of short-term memory into a more stabilized form of memory or long-term memory is referred to as memory consolidation. The activation of genes, production of new proteins, and creation of new synapses is required for memory consolidation.

a.) The basal nuclei get information from only parts of the cerebral cortex that are involved in movement planning
b.) Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the basal nuclei
c.) The basal nuclei have an indirect pathway that tends to excite and thus increase the activity of the output nuclei (The Globus pallidus internal segment and substantia nigra pars reticulata) of the basal nuclei.
d.) The basal nuclei have a direct pathway that tends to inhibit and thus reduce the activity of the output nuclei (The Globus pallidus internal segment and substantia nigra pars reticulata) of the basal nuclei.
