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.

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.

Public Health Law, rather than Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), regulates the sale of unprotected turtles in the state. Turtles must have a carapace length of greater than 4 inches to be sold legally. I heard that there are special laws that apply only to the diamondback terrapin. Yes, thatâs true. The diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) was given protection in 1990 as a result of a petition from the New York Tortoise and Turtle Society filed under the authority of ECL-0311. Individuals who have obtained a special license may take terrapins from 1 August to 30 April annually.
