Usually on the left side of the brain in a large majority of both right and left handed individuals

Question 16

What is the basal ganglia responsible for

Answer 16

It serves as the coordinating center for several nerve tracks including coordinating muscle movements

Question 17

What does the limbic system do

Answer 17

It’s a group of nuclei and cortical structures that encode memory and regulate autonomic nervous system and endocrine functions in response to emotional stimuli

Answer 18

Hypothalamus
Amygdala
Cingulate gurus
Hippocampus

Answer 20

Plays a crucial role in the management of stress rage and anxiety.
It is often termed as the emotional amplifier

Question 21

What does the cingulate gyrus do

Answer 21

Serves as an Intercal part of the limbic system receiving input from the thalamus and neocortex to develop emotions and encoded memory

Question 22

What does the hippocampus do

Answer 22

Contains centers for memory and learning particularly for establishing short term memory regulation of critical steroid production and his double Schmidt of spatial relations in the environment
