The correct option is (C) The neuron’s membrane voltage becomes more positive.

The resting neuron has a voltage across its membrane which is called the resting membrane potential. There is a concentration gradient of ions across the membrane when the neuron is in the resting state.

Inside the membrane the concentration of  K⁺ and organic anions are more. Outside the membrane the concentration of Na⁺ is more. The membrane is much more permeable to K⁺  than Na⁺ .

The cell’s inside is more negative than the outside when the membrane is hyperpolarized. In neurons the resting membrane potential is close to the equilibrium potential for K⁺.

The hippocampus is associated with memories for events and facts, known as ________ memory whereas the cerebellum is associated
yarga [219]

The hippocampus is associated with memories for events and facts, known as Episodic memory whereas the cerebellum is associated with memories for skills and abilities, known as procedural memory.

Explanation:

Storage of memory is not the work of a particular part of brain but it is associated with several parts such as amygdala, hippocampus, cerebellum etc.

Hippocampus is the part of emotional brain and plays a great role in remembering events or episodes and recognition.

The cerebellum is the part of the brain that associates itself with learning and skill development.
