The motor strip is in charge of precise movements, while the parietal lobe is used for spatial perception (in John's case, it is mostly applicable for its control over vision and movement, making fast coordination hard.).

This decreases the Hippocampus' size, as well as the brain cell's dendrite count. This reduction can make it hard for people to retain memory because what you're learning, whether through seeing, reading or hearing, does not reach the Hippocampus.

Taking breaks from studying and refreshing yourself (eat, drink, take a walk) is helpful, as well.

It controls many aspects of speech. Most predominantly, grammatical sentence creation and movements of the tongue and mouth. The cerebellum may also be damaged, as it is also related to verbal fluency.

Stress makes the amygdala active.

They also help with creativity.

The right temporal lobe is involved in music perception and visual imagery.

The left temporal lobe processes musical structure.

Cortisol changes the form of the brain cell's dendrites, so there are less connections.
