Bickle would likely claim that this study does establish that NMDAreceptor activation in the hippocampus is a cause of spatial memory Craver's model, therefore, allows for two possible ways in which representations may play a role in experimentation and explanation in cognitive neurobiology. the representational and synaptic plasticity activities of hippocampal neurons may be appealed to as causes of the observable changes in behavior. Despite the fact that Craver's model allows for the possibility of representations playing these distinct roles in cognitive neurobiological explanations, Bickle is correct insofar as the experimental methods that ./cache/work_elk4lqodkbbz3ley77hzqz4bce.pdf ./txt/work_elk4lqodkbbz3ley77hzqz4bce.txt
