Velocity_Boy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Assuming memory formation is genetic, can cognitive memory be improved by the activation of synaptic plasticity? The answer is yes. But synaptic plasticity improves memory whether or not it's genetic. Why would an inherited genetic predisposition have anything to do with it?

tkadm30 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 The answer is yes. But synaptic plasticity improves memory whether or not it's genetic. Why would an inherited genetic predisposition have anything to do with it? I was thinking cognitive memory to be independent from synaptic plasticity since memory formation is mediated by DNA. Hence, could there be a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer disease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
