Answer:

Long term potentiation

Step-by-step explanation:

In the past, it was thought that all memory

stored in the cerebral cortex of the brain. We have now learned that long-term memories are stored in multiple regions throughout the nervous system. (In other words, they are not

localized but stored through circuitry).
