(facts), and procedural ("muscle memory")
How PTSD is developed - answer A traumatic stimulus causes an
emotional response, which charges encoding which leads to unintentional
retrieval caused by a neutral stimulus. "Mental time travel"
Long term potentiation - answer Long term increase in the excitability of
a neuron to a particular synaptic input caused by repeated high frequency

Population EPSP - answer Measurement of evoked potential representing
the EPSP's of a group of neurons
Associative long term potentiation - answer Long term potentiation
where concurrent stimulation of weak and strong synapses to a given
neuron that strengthens the weak ones
NMDA receptor - answer Specialized ionotropic glutamate receptor
controlling a calcium channel (normally blocked by magnesium ions)
involved in long term potentiation
AMPA receptor - answer Ionotropic glutamate receptor that controls a
sodium channel. Produces EPSPs when open
