Neuropsychological Conditions:
- Delirium: Acute state of confusion that is abrupt and usually reversible.
- Parkinson's Disease: A motor disease characterized by shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and
difficulty walking, caused by a lack of dopamine in the substantia nigra.
- Korsakoff's Syndrome: A neurological disease resulting in loss of declarative memory, caused by
depletion of thiamine (often due to long-term alcohol abuse).
Symptoms of Korsakoff's Syndrome:
- Anterograde amnesia: Inability to form new memories.
- Retrograde amnesia: Inability to recall memories prior to an event.
- Confabulation: Creating false memories or distorting real memories.
- Apathy: Lack of emotion.
- Limited content in conversations.
- Lack of insight.
Types of Amnesia:
- Anterograde Amnesia: Inability to form new memories.
- Retrograde Amnesia: Inability to recall memories before an event.
- Confabulation: The act of creating false memories or distorting real memories.
Memory Types:
- Sensory Memory: Memory of stimuli after the stimuli have been removed; lasts less than a second.
- Short-term Memory: Temporary immediate recall of information for processing; typically lasts less than
a minute.
- Chunking: Combining items into groups to improve memory.
- Working Memory: The ability to manipulate mental information actively.
- Explicit Memory: Information that is consciously remembered.

Cognitive Concepts:
- Joint Attention: The phenomenon where two or more individuals focus attention on the same object.
- Theory of Mind: The understanding that others may have different perspectives on the same events.
Brain Anatomy:
- Parietal Lobe: Responsible for somatosensory processing (touch, temperature, pain).
- Frontal Lobe: Involved in planning, decision-making, and executive functions.
- Occipital Lobe: Primarily involved in processing and storing visual information.
- Temporal Lobe: Responsible for auditory processing and storage of auditory information.
- Limbic System: A brain structure involved in emotions and memory processing.
- Cerebellum: Coordinates motor control and movement.
- Brain Stem: Controls basic life functions (breathing, heartbeat).
- Cerebrum: The outermost layer of the brain; includes the cortex and its axons, also known as the
telencephalon.
- Corpus Callosum: The bundle of axons that connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
