Summary Introduction
To review:
The definition of the ablation and its uses in understanding the functions of the particular regions of the brain.
Introduction:
The part of the brain involved in the emotional state are the hypothalamus and limbic system. The limbic system forms a ring around the brain stem as they have forebrain nuclei and fiber tracts. The cingulate gyrus that is a part of the cerebral cortex is involved in emotions associated with pain, fear, and motivation.

Define neural pruning and explain why it happens in the adolescence brain.
Long-term stress and sleep deprivation is associated with memory loss and negative thoughts.Subjects in a research study were shown images after they received either a full night’s rest or limited rest. The subjects were shown negative, positive, and neutral images. The subjects with limited rest remembered most of the negative images but only half of the positive and neutral images.The structures of the brain affected by long-term stress and sleep deprivation are, respectively:
Select one:
a.
Long-Term Stress
Sleep Deprivation
