READING, WRITING

 Read for 80 seconds in HOW TO BIOHACK YOUR BRAIN by Kristin M.  I'll have to go back & review the parts of the brain she presents, since I have not internalized them:  here goes:  The 6 areas and their functions are:

AREA                              LOCATION/SIZE                   FUNCTION

1.  THALAMUS              middle of brain                     "central hub"

                                         2 walnuts                               "relay station"

                                                                                         process external sensory information

                                                                                        sends info to other areas of brain

                                                                                        helps control pain sensations

                                                                                        helps control attention

                                                                                        helps control alertness

                                                                                         helps control some cognitive thinking                  

2.  HYPOTHALAMUS  below the thalamus                    connects nervous system to endocrine system

                                        1 almond                                    controls hormones

                                                                                            helps release hormones from the pituitary gland

                                                                                        regulates sleep, hunger, thirst, body weight, temp.

3.  HIPPOCAMPUS    deep, below thalamus                critical for memory

                                    and hypothalamus                        critical for brain-cell growth

                                                                                           critical for cognitive disease prevention

                                                                                        responsible for storing & recalling memories

                                                                                        responsible for learning information

                                                                                         responsible for coordinating spacial navigation

                                                                                         loss of vol of HIPPOCAMPUS →cognitive decline
