okay so last class we covered/cleared up a couple things:
1. that the cerebellum makes the body movements NOT JERKY but smoooth, and recieves sensory and motor input
and that the brain stem has 3 MAIN parts to it
1. Midbrain: which is the relay center for the cerebrum, celebellum, and breathing/relfex movements of the head
2. Medulla Oblangotta : which is the autonomic (which is described as occuring involuntary) control center, changing the heart beat outside of the heart
3. Pons (mr.mac had fun saying that word) which is the piece of the connective tissue, the bridge of the white matter at the base of the brain
2. that LEARNING is the ability to retain and apply past memories
and that MEMORY is the ability to hold on to or recall a piece of information
there are 3 types of memory
1. Short term - had the information for a short period of time. ex: phone number you look up
2. Long term (more "hands on") has had the info for a LONG period of time/life (semantic memory)
3. skill memory- a combo of motor activities, like swimming/using scissors
3.Broca and Wernicke's areas are only in the left hemisphere of the brain
BROCA- ability to speak ( broca = blah blah blah)
WERNICKE - ability to comprehend speech/understand it
DURING class we were told the story of the man who dealt with explosives and got that metal rod through his head and still managed to survive. well, his name was PHINEAS GAGE.

--> here's a link about him, more info about this metal rod thing. if you noticed, he was standing proud with the rod that got him in the head!

Awesome job Leanna. That was really specific. I like that you numbered all the subcategories, that makes studying a lot easier. Your outline covered the basic of everything talked about in class without getting too long.
Leanna great job I'm going to remember the metal rod analogy now from that wikipedia link
Leanna... Great Job! I dodn't review anything this weekend and when I read your summary it really helped! And the links are sticking in my mind so thank you!
Good Job! The notes were really clear and straight forward. They really helped me reiview my stuff and will definitly help me for the test.
good job! i liked that you broke it up, the blah blah blah things for broca was again, a good reminder. thanks!
holy, the link with the guy who had the pole in his brain is freaky, but pretty cool. Its weird how he still could pretty much live a normal life even with a brain injury.
also, thanks for the link to the brain picture. I forgot about that, but now I have it handy!
Thanks for the link to the brain picture, and I liked how you numbered everything. The guy with metal pole was pretty sweet too.
great job leanna,
i liked how you kind of redefined everything. makes it easier to remember now :)
I don't believe I was there this class but I liked all the stuff you put up and how it was broken down!
great job! i really liked how you organized your outline it will make studying a lot easier! and thanks for the link to the brain picture :)
I remember the Broca- ability to speak (blah blah blah), but was there an easy way to remember Wernicke too? I sort of remember Mr. Mac saying something about it but I don't remember what it was.
Oh, and good job by the way! great post!
great job leanna!! :) this is actually rly helpful and the whole blah blah blah thing with Broca is a good way to remember it :) also i found the story about the man who got a metal rod through his head really interesting! good job! :)
