What are the parts of the brain?

Brain Tumor FAQ
The brain is divided into sections, each of which controls aspects of movement and behavior. A brain tumor can affect different functions depending on where in the brain the tumor is located.

The right cerebral hemisphere typically controls the left side of the body, and the left cerebral hemisphere controls the right side of the body.

What about the brain and central nervous system?

What do they do to the brain?

Erowid Alprazolam Vault : Alprazolam FAQ v2.3
People with serious forms of anxiety demonstrate chronic over-activity in the areas of the brain associated with fear or nervousness. An inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma aminobutyricacid (GABA) works in these areas to diminish this excessive nerve cell activity. There is evidence that benzodiazepines cause an increase in the activity of GABA, thereby returning the system to a normal level and reducing the associated symptoms of anxiety.

How does marijuana affect the brain?

NTS: Resource Center
THC disrupts the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed. This makes it hard for the user to recall recent events (such as what happened a few minutes ago), and so it is hard to learn while high. A working short-term memory is required for learning and performing tasks that call for more than one or two steps. Some studies show that when people have smoked large amounts of marijuana for many years, the drug takes its toll on mental functions.

Do you ever get nervous?

Joel Mabus FAQ
Sure, sometimes. But not terribly so. I've been told I appear comfortable on stage. That's good, because I am striving for that. Confidence comes with experience, and I've been doing this long enough to believe I can walk on a stage and do it once more. Still, there is just a butterfly or two lurking deep down, especially in new situations or strange surroundings. Once the first tune is done though, I can usually relax and have some fun.
