same region on the other side of the brain
-Important for attention and performance of cognitive tasks
-Develops throughout gestation

What is the hippocampus? ✅-Responsible for learning: consolidation of information
from short-term memory to long-term memory
-Forms early in second trimester
-Neural interconnections within the hippocampus occur late in pregnancy

What does the basal ganglia: putamen and globus pallidus do? ✅-Control of voluntary
motor movements

communication between hemispheres of the brain

management of emotions

How does ASD impact the functioning of the cerebral cortex? ✅-Atypical cortical
folding
-Unable to be flexible when things change
