Full Description
This examination focuses on the molecular basis of neuronal plasticity, including mechanisms that underlie memory formation and learning processes. Key proteins, genetic factors, and structural changes will be analyzed.
Understanding these processes is critical for comprehending how memories are formed and retained, as well as implications for recovery from injuries and neurodegeneration. This knowledge contributes significantly to the understanding of cognitive functions.
The exam will assess the ability of candidates to articulate the key molecular mechanisms by which plasticity facilitates learning and memory, along with associated pathways and effects.
Candidates should be prepared to provide detailed explanations of the relationship between synaptic changes and memory-related behaviors.
Sample Questions
- What molecular mechanisms contribute to long-term potentiation?
- How does synaptic plasticity affect memory processes?
