Biological

Localization

Specific parts of the brain have specific functions related to behaviors.

Milner

Studied the role of the hippocampus in memory.

Neuroplasticity

The brain's ability to change its structure based on the environment.

Maguire

Studied the hippocampus of London taxi drivers using MRI.

Neuropruning

Removal of redundant or unnecessary synaptic connections.

Draganski

Studied changes in the brain of jugglers.

Techniques used to study the brain

MRI imaging.

Dendrite

Neuronal projections that receive messages from other neurons.

Neurotransmission

Neurons transmit information and signals for various functions.

Acetylcholine

Neurotransmitter associated with memory.

Rodgers and Kesner

Studied rats in a maze to understand memory processes.

Scopolamine

Blocks the action of acetylcholine.

Antagonists

Drugs that block neurotransmitter receptor sites.

Adrenaline

Hormone responsible for arousal and the "fight or flight" response.

McGaugh & Cahill

Studied the impact of emotional arousal on memory.
