This area in the brain is responsible for language production and speech.
What is Broca's Area?

This system of the brain involves autonomic processes and mechanisms of memory, emotions, and learning (hint: includes portions of the cerebral cortex --> thalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and septal area)

What is Multiple Sclerosis?
400
Too much of this neurotransmitter supplies the evidence that Tammy has schizophrenia
What is Dopamine?

What is Temporal Lobe?
500
Too much of this neurotransmitter can lead to overexcitement in the nerves, leading to brain cell damage, while too little of it can lead to developmental and intellectual delays.
What is glutamate?
