Several of the most fascinating biopsychology research questions about memory have to do with the connection between human consciousness and the location in the brain and function of memory processes.

Quoting of published authors is not allowed in forum posts. This is because your professor needs to see what you comprehend of the learning material and how you can apply that knowledge in responding to the forum topic prompts, not what somebody else said in a publication. Instead of quoting, to support your writing with scholarly sources you will need to paraphrase (summarize in your own words) what you read.
