Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences / None | Category: | Senior | Region: | Central Newfoundland | City: | Lawn, NL | School: | Holy Name of Mary Academy | Abstract: | This project studied the strength of both the short-term and long-term memory of a rat.

These results are particularly important as they can be related to the brain fuctions of humans. |
