Frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
What are the 4 lobes of the brain?
100
Fundamental working units of every human being
What are cells?
100
Process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.
What is methylation?
100
During learning, spatio-temporal patterns of neural activity that represent events cause long-lasting changes in the strength of synaptic connections within the brain. Later reactivation of these altered connections causes patterns of cell firing that collectively constitute the experience of memory for these events or the expression of learned changes in behaviour triggered by them.
What is the synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis?
100
The father of modern neuroscience.
Who is Santiago Ramon y Cajal?
200
The location of the formation of new long term semantic and episodic memories
What is the Hippocampus?
200
Specific sequences of bases that provide instructions on how to make important proteins
What are genes?
200
Process of turning genes on and off
What is regulation?
200
The formation of memory must be associated with detectable changes in synaptic efficacy in relevant circuits of the nervous system.
What is detectability?
200
Most known for cell assembly theory, which is also known as a theory that bears his name.
Who is Donald O. Hebb?
300
The location of where the formation of new emotional memories occurs.
What is the amygdala?
300
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine
What are bases that comprise DNA?
300
A stably heritable phenotype resulting from changes in a chromosome without alterations in the DNA sequence
What is an epigenetic trait?
300
Whether changes in synaptic strength are sufficient for memory formation.
What is mimicry?
300
Most known for his research with Aplysia in regards to illustrating a physiological aspect in learning.
Who is Eric Kandel?
400
Sorting procedural memory
What is the Motor Cortex?
400
Complex molecules that trigger various biological actions to carry out life functions
What are proteins?
400
A multitude of chemical compounds that can tell the genome what to do
What is an epigenome?
400
Whether synaptic plasticity is necessary for mem- ory formation and expression respectively.
What is anterograde and retrograde alteration.
400
An American who also hypothesized about the idea that became known as neural plasticity in the 1880's. He also is considered the father of modern psychology in the United States.
Who is William James?

500
A stably heritable phenotype resulting from changes in a chromosome without alterations in the DNA sequence.
What is an epigenetic trait?
500
Brief high-frequency stimulation can induce long-lasting increases in synaptic efficacy.
What is long term potential?
500
He is a German philosopher who classified three distinct types of memory: sensory, short-term, and long-term. An idea that remains relevant to this day.
