Loc = Refers to the four lobes and their seperate functions Lat= Refers to the two hemispheres and functions that are specific to each one
1 of 11
Left Hemisphere
Is the language centre of the brain. Controls the right hand. Receives information from the right visual field.
2 of 11
RIght hemisphere
Focuses on visuo-spatial task. Controls the left hand. Receives information from the left visual field.
3 of 11
Corpus Callosum
Middle part of the brain where the nerves cross over connecting the two hemispheres
4 of 11
Neurotransmission + Synapse + Reuptake
Method by whuch messages are sent + gap between each Neuron + When neurotransmitters are either broken down or reabsorbed
5 of 11
Acetycholine + Serotonin
Increases memory + Arousal levels and emotion
6 of 11
Adrenaline
Released from the Adrenal glands - causing the flight of fight + arousal

Melatonin
Released from the Pineal - causing regulation of sleep
8 of 11
Neuroplasticity
Ability to rearrange the connections between its neurons - Happens as a result of the learning experience
9 of 11

Everytime we learn something new , the neurons connect to create a new trace in the brain. Dentrites of the neurons grown in numbers and connect with other neurons.
