The amygdala is involved in memory consolidation, which is the process of transferring information that is currently in working memory into ones long-term memory. This process is also known as memory modulation. [7] The amygdala works to encode recent emotional information into memory.
Megasporogenesis, formation of the megaspores in the megasporangium (nucellus) by meiosis; Megagametogenesis; development of the megaspore(s) into the megagametophyte(s) which contains the gametes. [2] In gymnosperms and most flowering plants, only one of the four megaspores is functional at maturity, and the other three soon degenerate.
Deficits in visual memory can also be caused by disease and/or trauma to the brain. These can lead to the patient losing their spatial memory , and/or their visual memory for specific things. For example, a patient “L.E.” suffered brain damage and her ability to draw from memory was severely diminished, whilst her spatial memory remained ...
Brodmann Area 52 (H), also known as the parainsular area, is a part of the brain located in the temporal lobe, one of the major regions of the brain responsible for processing sensory information and memory. This area is named after the German neuroscientist Korbinian Brodmann, who mapped different regions of the brain based on their structure.
Also during the fifth week, the brain divides into repeating segments called neuromeres. [65] [72] In the hindbrain these are known as rhombomeres. [73] A characteristic of the brain is the cortical folding known as gyrification. For just over five months of prenatal development the cortex is smooth.
The visual system is organized hierarchically, with anatomical areas that have specialized functions in visual processing. Low-level visual processing is concerned with determining different types of contrast among images projected onto the retina whereas high-level visual processing refers to the cognitive processes that integrate information from a variety of sources into the visual ...
The area of the visual cortex that receives the sensory input from the lateral geniculate nucleus is the primary visual cortex, also known as visual area 1 , Brodmann area 17, or the striate cortex. The extrastriate areas consist of visual areas 2, 3, 4, and 5 (also known as V2, V3, V4, and V5, or Brodmann area 18 and all Brodmann area 19). [1]
The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, [1] is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.It is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system, [2] and plays a key role in attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, and consciousness.
