Different parts of the brain develop at different rates‚ and students have high expectations before their brain is ready to perform such tasks (NINDS; Marlowe). Continuous stress can even slow or stop brain development and lead to learning difficulties (UGA; Bristol Science Centre; Scott). Functions of the brain are important to comprehend so that we may determine
