Which of the following statements about long-term synaptic plasticity in Aplysia is false?

Which of the following statements about long-term synaptic plasticity in Aplysia is false?





  1. The efficacy of transmission at many synapses depends upon their history of synaptic activity.
  2. The tracking of long-term changes in synaptic efficacy is difficult in mammalian systems because of the complexity of mammalian brains.
  3. The gill withdrawal reflex in Aplysia can be enhanced by pairing a noxious stimulus with a mild touch.
  4. Associative learning in the Aplysia gill withdrawal reflex is relatively independent of the timing or the order in which different stimuli are applied.
  5. Gill withdrawal behavior in Aplysia can be altered for days or weeks by means of repeated pairings of shocks and touches.
