MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Scientist A has discovered that the type of neural activity seen in children differs greatly from adult neural activity. In addition, scientist B has shown that the changes in neural activity to result from the "pruning" of certain neural interactions in favor of successful neural interactions. Which two concepts are represented by the scientists A and B?

     

    A

    Neural plasticity, long term potentiation

    B

    Neural plasticity, excitatory synapses

    C

    Inhibitory synapses, long term potentiation

    D

    Inhibitory synapses, Neural Plasticity
