Answer: see explanation below

Explanation: the synapse is the junction between the terminal of a neuron and either another neuron or a muscle or gland cell, over which nerve impulses pass. Typically when the same experiences trigger nerve responses over synapses, they are remembered (strengthened) leading to even faster responses very much like the muscle memory. The NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability, very critical for the development of the central nervous system and various processes vital to learning, memory, and the formation of neural networks during development in the central nervous system (CNS). Since memories are assumed to be represented by vastly interconnected neural circuits in the brain, synaptic plasticity is key to learning and memory. In this, the NMDA receptor is very crucial for controlling synaptic plasticity (the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken, in response to increases or decreases in their activity over time) and memory function.

The professor was making reference to Kara's inability to effectively use <u>"critical thinking".</u>


Critical thinking is a rich idea that has been creating all through the previous 2500 years. The expression "critical thinking" has its underlying foundations in the mid-late twentieth century. We offer here covering definitions, together which frame a substantive, transdisciplinary origination of critical thinking.

Critical thinking is the intellectually trained procedure of effectively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, breaking down, incorporating, or potentially assessing data assembled from, or produced by, perception, encounter, reflection, thinking, or correspondence, as a manual for conviction and activity.

The Stamp act obligated every colonist to pay tax on every printed material that they use in their day to day operation (such as newspapers, Legal documents, legal licences, etc). The British government imposed this tax as an effort to fund one of their war.

For this assignment, you will create your own interest group to address one of the social needs of the late 1800s and early 1900
nalin [4]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Let's see. My own interest group to address one of the social needs of the late 1800s and early 1900s will be an interest group that supports the American farmers.

The relevant issue of the late 1800s or early 1900s would be the injustices and lack of opportunities that limited production to many American farmers of that time. The name of my group would be AFCA (American Farmers; the Cornerstone of America).

My demands would be the following.

-Better seeds to farm the lands.

-Better nutrients to improve the quality of the land and make it more fertile.

-Good legislation and the creation of laws that protect and impulse American farmers.

-Fair transportation prices in railroads.

-Reduction of taxes.

The most important would be the proper legislation to support farming and develop the production of crops, not only for local or internal consumption but to export.

The leaders of the movement would have meetings twice a week, after having spent some time with people to listen to ing to their concerns. The location of the meetings would be the local church.

The flyers and pamphlets aimed to gain more supporters would include the following slogan: "The foundation of America starts with farmers. Don't ever make them forget it. Join us. It is you who is going to make us stronger."
