Cherly is upset to find that over the course of her first semester in college, she has gained 16 pounds. She knows that she likes to hang out at the dining hall with friends and is not used to having so many food options (particularly unhealthy ones!) around all the time.C herly also keeps snacks in her room to eat so that she will not fall asleep when she is up late studying or to make her feel better when she is stressed out over her workload.
How has long-term potentiation in Cherly's brain influenced her behavior?
