rhythms
I.E. NOT AWARENESS
✔✔Amygdala - ✔✔Tied to emotional memories + reactions; "fight or flight structure"
, ✔✔Primary motor cortex - ✔✔voluntary movement
✔✔Frontal lobe - ✔✔Functions: planning, organizing, problem solving, judgement,
impulse control, decision making, working memory

space below level of damage
Spinal surgery or late stage syphilis
✔✔Neuroplasticity - ✔✔the ability of the NS to change itself, form new connections, and
create new neurons in order to compensate for injury to adapt to changes in the
environment
✔✔Explicit memory - ✔✔memory WITH conscious recall
✔✔Semantic - ✔✔words, ideas, concepts
✔✔Episodic - ✔✔personal experiences
✔✔Implicit memory - ✔✔memory WITHOUT conscious recall
