The authors created several mnemonics to learn 7 neuroscience terms. These include: medulla, pituitary glands, reticular formation, parasympathetic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, cerebellum, and thalamus. Often, these terms are difficult for psychology students to learn and the memory aid may academically benefit our students.
