Document Summary
Subject to adjustment over time (not innate, fixed behaviours) Orienting the body and arms towards a specific target (complex movements) Integrate information from multiple sensory and motor areas. All for higher order functions important for language and memory. Voluntary planning, decision making and traits. Integration of all sensory input , especially. Inner bottom surface of temporal lobe, for motivation, emotion. Speech understanding in the parietal, occipital and temporal lobe cortex. Neural change responsible for retention or storage of knowledge. Long-term memory limited storage capacity rapid retrieval (remembering) forgetting is permanent, fading quickly unless consolidated transient modifications in functions of pre-existing synapses, such as altering the amount of neurotransmitter released. Process of transferring and fixing short-term memory traces into long-term. Coma/unconscious trauma or anesthesia for major surgery. Blocks receptors as well, as it is a byproduct of atp to adp usage. Reticular activating system is disconnected, can be caused by disease, Motor area controls the muscles for articulation (speaking)
