The memory is activated once learning has taken place. With knowledge at the center of attention‚ it is imperative to stimulate the brain through lifelong learning to achieve longevity and quality of life

into your brain using medical temporal lobes‚ MLT (Miller). The job of MLT is to make memories using neural activities that are created in response to the senses (Mastin).

The hypothalamus is a small‚ but busiest part of the brain located just below the thalamus and is mainly concerned with homeostasis. It is an important link in the command chain governing bodily maintenance
