Topic 5.6
Which controversial standpoint contests established beliefs about protein synthesis's function in forming stable long-term memories?
Protein synthesis obstructs rather than enables the creation of stable long-term memories.
Synthesized proteins contribute towards immediate but not sustained neurotransmission essential for learning or memory retention/recall.
Protein synthesis has no role in any biological processes related to cognition or behavior.
Proteins are synthesized exclusively for physical growth and repair, not for cognitive functions like memory storage or retrieval.
