question for science

you mentioned above that LTP results in strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons. What are some of the molecular events that underlie this “strengthening”?

Can you elaborate on this sentence, “LTP is supposed to be a process by which the brain adapts to involvement”? Specifically, what do you mean by ‘involvement’?

When thinking about the results of Scoville and Milner, what does this tell us about the role of the hippocampus in memories that had previously been consolidated vs memories that had yet to be consolidated? For example, think specifically about HM’s deficits – he could remember things from different times before his surgery, but could remember nothing after the surgery.
