It is shown that was not impaired ability to recall information in animals‚ but showed decreased possibility of their storage‚ ie. Creation of new memory and learning. The rats under the influence of marijuana have been equally poor results as well as the rats with a damaged hippocampus. These studies open the question of whether

5. What is it about theories in the human sciences and natural sciences that makes them convincing? Man has always struggled to understand the world around him and‚ as a result‚ has relied heavily on the sciences. The sciences first became popular in the Greco-Roman era and from then have continued to develop and ultimately diverge into two separate subjects‚ human and natural sciences. Each of these has further diverges in which there can be up to fifty categories within each subject. However

This particularly affects the hippocampus and cerebellum‚ where the maternal allele is almost completely exclusive. This in turn causes the characteristic physiological symptoms of the disease‚ including difficulty converting short to long term memory (hippocampus)‚ motor‚ language‚ and attention span difficulties (cerebellum).
