During synaptic plasticity the number and shapes of dendritic spines undergo radical reorganizations. Long-term potentiation (LTP) induction promotes spine head enlargement and the formation and stabilization of new spines. Long-term depression (LTD) results in their shrinkage and retraction."
very important. Here we see the difference in effect each process has in the body.
he morphology of spines in developing neurons is affected by synaptic activity, hence contributing to the experience-dependent refinement of neuronal circuits, learning, and memory.
relating to the idea of the role of dendtric spines in relation to learning and memory formation.
"In a developing brain, spines exhibit a high degree of structural and functional plasticity, reflecting the formation and elimination of synapses during the maturation of neuronal circuits.
speaking on the idea of the theory associated with his section.
Amnesia, a deficit in memory, can be caused by brain damage. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to store new memories; retrograde amnesia is the inability to retrieve old memories. These types of amnesia indicate that memory does have a storage process.25
definitions of each type of amnesia that can cause issues with the process of long-term storage
However, where Piaget felt that children moved naturally through different stages of development, based on biological predispositions and their own individual interactions with the world, Vygotsky claimed that adult or peer intervention was a much more important part of the developmental process.
the differences off ideas for each developmental theory(Piaget and Vygotsky)
