Movement
What region is known for calibrating, coordinating, and fine-tuning motor movement.
Cerebellum
What is region is known for coordinating memories?
Hippocampus
What brain waves are involved in relaxing and day dreaming
alpha
A progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior
Alzheimer's disease

Implicit memories
What is the role of the supplementary motor cortex?
Assembling sequences of movements.
Prefrontal cortex
Norepinephrine
What lobe of the brain does Alzheimer's related neurodegeneration begin in?
Temporal lobe
what kind of memory allows you to recall a 7 digit phone number someone just gave you long enough to dial it.
Working Memory
What is the role of the primary motor cortex?
Executing motor movements
In the "where" processing stream (AKA the ventral stream) information is sent to what lobe?
Parietal
Brain wave involved in focused attention.
Beta
What disorder is known for causing "tics" and potentially caused by miscommunication in the cerebellum.

the ability to retrieve information from memory without any specific prompts or cues
Recall
What region combines information to plan/program movements?
Premotor cortex
The _________ is close to the hippocampus and tags emotion to memory.
Amygdala
Neurotransmitter involved in attention AND memory
