Right hemisphere - Hemisphere of the brain mostly related to the emotions and empathy., Left hemisphere - Hemisphere of the brain mostly related to the use of language, calculations and a careful and rational thinking, Serotonin - Neurotransmitter which propels happiness, sleep quality and neurotrophic process. It is also present when we engage in repeated actions., Dopamine - Neurotransmitter which produces a sensation of comfort, especially when we are among dear ones, GABA - Neurotransmitter which inhibits communication among neurons, Amygdala - Part of the brain mainly responsible for the fear responses and emotional management. It was found to show certain amount of neurogenesis in heavily mistreated children., Acetylcholine - Neurotransmitter which excites neurons and actively helps to better communication among them, Prefrontal neocortex - Part of the brain mainly responsible for complex processes like discerning languages. It was found to show certain amount of neurogenesis in people who meditate and practice sports, Cortisol - Neurotransmitter which propels attention when in danger, but also kills neurons if chronically released, Hippocampus - Part of the brain mainly responsible for Long Term Memory. It was found to show certain amount of neurogenesis in British Cab Drivers., Neurogenesis - Process where new brain cells are created. It can happen because of antidepressants., Pruning - Process when no longer used neurons lose dendrites or are inhibited by GABA., Depression - Process where the prefrontal cortex shrinks and the amygdala grows, very common in modern times. There is a chemical imbalance with lack of serotonin., Critical Period Hypothesis - Process where the brain uses plasticity to make both hemispheres to intervene in the acquisition of a language in an early age., Neuroplasticity - Process where brain cells rewire themselves, making changes in their connections, most commonly to take the roles of missing or defective parts of the brain.,
