Memory workshop

In this weeks memory workshop, we’ve learned a bit about how braincells are made up and

what leads to automatic responses in the brain.

Automatic responses come from a part of the brain called the “Amigdala” – which controls your heart

rate and temperature – this part of the brain also controls your emotions – Happiness, Fear, Anger…the whole

Kaboodle!  The amigdala sends signals through the braincells through parts of the cells called “Dendrites”  each cell when looked at close up looks like a tree…and the dendrites are the braincells “Branches”…these send the information to the various parts of the brain that needs it.
