Memory and cognition
The brain’s role with memory and cognition
Like emotions, memories are proteins. So, too, are cognitive thoughts. The brain structures related to these functions are involved with adjoining systems, like smell and volitional eye movements. Sharing neurological pathways lends the ability of rehabbing one system to indirectly rehab another.
