Role in Cognition and Frontal Cortex Function. In the frontal lobes, dopamine plays a role in controlling the flow of information from other areas of the brain. Dopamine disorders in the frontal lobes can cause a decline in neurocognitive function, particularly those linked to the frontal lobes, such as memory, attention and problem solving.
Our terrapins suffer from a serious loss of habitat. New Jersey has experienced explosive development of its wetlands. When wetlands are filled and covered for the construction of buildings, the terrapins lose their homes.Our community of Somers Point provides a good example of the rapid growth and development in our region.

NATURAL HISTORY. Globally, leatherback turtles are a critically endangered species; their numbers are only a quarter of what they were 20 years ago. The world population is estimated at 30,000 to 40,000 nesting females in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.cientists estimate that commercial fisheries in the Pacific caught 4,200 leatherback sea turtles in 2000 alone. Until alternate fishing gear such as circle hooks are in widespread use, the most effective way to help turtles is to avoid buying seafood caught using fishing methods that place leatherbacks at risk.
