Short Term Memory After reading several articles on short term memory‚ I noticed mostly everyone defines it differently. The most frequent definition is a system for temporarily storing and managing information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning‚ reasoning and comprehension. It is involved in selection‚ initiation and termination of information - processing functions such as encoding‚ storing‚ and retrieving data. Short term memory is the little thing that completely

and Biochemical Genetic – depression seems to run in families and a number of studies have shown a correlation between the biological closeness of the relationship and the likelihood of developing depression. Biochemical imbalances in neurotransmitters cause depression; most notably noradrenalin‚ serotonin according to the permissive amine theory is a controller and dopamine.

addiction is driven by two mechanisms. One of the mechanisms is the Ventral tegmental area (VTA)‚ which is part of the brain that is rich in dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter and is part of the two major reward pathway. The other mechanism is Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRF)‚ which is a peptide hormone and a neurotransmitter involved in the stress response. However‚ it is revealed that the CRF neurons in the VTA‚ when receiving consistent nicotine exposure‚ it contributes negatively to
