BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Functional specialization is the function of the nervous system. Each of the neurons located within the nervous system are grouped into clusters‚ these clusters have a specific purpose in the body’s function. Such as movements of the limbs‚ emotions‚ memory and bodily functions. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? The principle of complex

Central Nervous System: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain in humans. The cerebrum is the last place that information travels through in the brain. The spinal cord is the part of the body that communicates between the brain and the nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is commonly known as a pathway from the brain to the body. Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral

These findings suggest that the core ADHD features of inattention‚ hyperactivity‚ and impulsivity may reflect frontal lobe dysfunction‚ but other brain regions particularly the cerebellum have also been implicated.[88] Neuroimaging studies in ADHD have not always given consistent results and as of 2008 are only used for research not diagnostic purposes.[89] A 2005
