Can be the cause Wernicke's Aphasia
Medulla Oblongata
Fields within the sciences, such as neurochemistry and experimental psychology, which deal with the structure or function of the nervous system and brain.
Neuroscience
Often called the "feel-good" hormone, it helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite; imbalances are linked to depression and anxiety.
Serotonin
What system contains all nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord

Can be the cause Narcolepsy
Reticular Formation
Nystagmus
Associated with pleasure, reward, and motivation; low dopamine levels can contribute to feelings of apathy and depression.
Dopamine
directly influencing our perception of our physical body
Somatic Nervous System
Recordings of waves of electrical activity.
EEG / Electroencephologram
Can be the cause Korsakoff Syndrome
The Thalamus
a chronic neurological disorder that impacts the brain's ability to regulate sleep and wake cycles.
Narcolepsy
Produced by the thyroid gland, these hormones influence metabolism and brain function; imbalances can lead to mood swings, depression, and anxiety.
Thyroid Hormones (T3/T4)
regulating physiological responses to stress and emotions

A visual display of brain activity by injecting radioactive glucose into person can be seen on this machine.
PET scan
Can be responsible for Alzheiners
Hippocampus
a neurological disorder that causes memory loss and other cognitive impairments associated with alcoholism.
Korsakoff Syndrome
The primary stress hormone, released in response to stressful situations; high cortisol levels over time can negatively impact mood and cognitive function.
Cortisol
Contains glands that produce and secretes hormones that the body can use for a wide range of functions
Endocrine System
What does P.E.T stand for?
Positron Emission Tomography
Can be responsible for Cushing Disease
