Learning , Memory and Language

Jehu E Iputo

This resource delves into the biological basis of learning and memory, explaining neural plasticity as the nervous system's ability to change and adapt. It differentiates between short-term and long-term memory, highlighting the roles of the pre-frontal lobe and hippocampus, respectively. The document also covers motor memory, its association with the cerebellum, and the mechanisms of long-term potentiation. Furthermore, it discusses semantic memory, procedural memory, and the neurological underpinnings of language, including brain lateralization and conditions like aphasia and dyslexia.
