is long-term potentiation (LTP)? Provide one line of evidence to demonstrate its role in
memory formation.2. The case study of HM has formed the basis for much of our
understanding of human memory, but Scoville and Milner’s paper described 9 other
patients. What evidence suggests that hippocampal lesions are the cause of the memory
problems described in their research? Are there any other methodologies that we can use to
find the same results? If so, explain one method to support your answer.3. What’s better: A
memory that records objectively and accurately, or a memory that can be updated to
support newer levels of understanding?
