Anyone know whether LTP is invovled in Implicit memory?

I don't remember this being in the lectures, but I don't see why procedural memories wouldn't be using LTP too :S

Thanks for the reply!!

Super worried about the exam - the last few lectures on PFC + consciousness + language were so conceptual and everything (I only know the very basics... )

I really hope this exam is easy... I've got thorough notes for the whole course but absolutely *none* of it is sticking and I can't remember a single thing unless I've looked at it in the last 3 or 4 minutes. Good luck tomorrow, everyone!

I wish your dorsolateral PFC the best of luck tomorrow. Please exercise the use of your ventral medial PFC when exiting the exam and not scream of its easiness when other people fail. Kind regards, PONS.

Resigned to an all nighter (still up to week 8...smh). GL everyone

Haha - I'm glad you're making PoNs jokes! I'm certainly not in the mood. To all the late night PoNs battlers out there, I wish you all the best!

Spent way too long on the first half of the course, definitely suffered a little there... I don't think I even want to know what the answers are.

Hope everyone went well! Very glad that's over, I'm never looking at brains again.

That was harder than gamsat

I found neurophys to be the better of the two first sem neuro subjects. I feel like some of the stuff we had to learn in PoNs seemed so far removed from science that it wasn't even science! Hopefully next semester there's more of an emphasis on science and no more abstract stuff!

I thought it was a fair exam. Found the most difficult question to be the statements for language (pretty sure I got 0-1/3) and the pain question took me a while.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty fair too. As for those language questions, they weren't exactly what I had in mind for a neuroscience test! The third one seemed a little ambiguous because it didn't really fit in with the postulates of either theory, but at the same time, it didn't exactly preclude itself from either theory. At least that's how I saw it.

Totally agree about the third language one. The first two qs were ok if you listened to his lecture though.

Yep, definitely preferred the neurophys exam over this. Had a few hiccups with this one, especially with the brain imaging techniques which I think I got all wrong lol

There was only like 1-2 questions iirc?

[fireyeah]

After looking through my notes, I realized that every pair of question that I had a fifty-fifty of getting right I got wrong (e.g. alpha and gamma waves, ventral and dorsal stream). But I probably got a decent score, I personally thought it was much easier than the MST, but this is probably because I changed my study strategy after that.
