Question

when you are learning to play tennis, repeated practice builds specific neural pathways that make it progressively easier for you to get the ball over the net. this long - lasting increase in neural sensitivity is called __. long - term potentiation the williams method motor potential synaptic reuptake view this video emotional arousal tends to increase attention, and those messages and resulting memories are processed primarily in the __, a brain structure involved in emotion. amygdala prefrontal cortex temporal lobes basal ganglia

Explanation:

• For the first question: Long - term potentiation (LTP) is a long - lasting increase in synaptic strength (neural sensitivity) that occurs with repeated neural stimulation, which matches the description of repeated practice building neural pathways. The Williams' method is not a recognized term in this neural context. Motor potential is related to the electrical potential for muscle movement, not neural pathway strengthening. Synaptic reuptake is the process of neurotransmitter reabsorption, not neural sensitivity increase.
• For the second question: The amygdala is a brain structure primarily involved in emotion processing. The prefrontal cortex is more related to executive functions like decision - making. The temporal lobes are involved in auditory processing and some memory aspects (but not primarily emotion - related memory in the context of emotional arousal). The basal ganglia are involved in motor control and some cognitive functions, not emotion - related memory processing.

Answer:

• First question: long - term potentiation
• Second question: amygdala
