Neuroscience Research

The brain is a complex organ that only makes up 2.5 percent of a person's body weight, and controls every function in the body. Neuroscience research has shed a better light on how the environment; specifically technology and brain growth development, affects adolescent students in today's society (Wolfe, 2001; DeWeese, 2014). The brain has the capabilities to receive an enormous amount of information, and select what is important enough to store. The hippocampus has a major role in learning and memory. This location is where information is collected by all of the senses, and put into categories which is then stored into different areas of the brain.
