Update for 9 to 11/4/08

In class, we finished doing the CNS and have finally moved onto to visual perception.

I won't be able to upload the notes that were on the lappy until Ms Chasen sends them. Though she said she has some stuff to add. So that might not be for a while.

ALSO: MS CHASEN IS HERE! So Ms Chasen is finally a member of blogger. I will frequently check the QUESTIONS FOR MS CHASEN section, and let you know if there are any new posts from her or other students.

Have a good weekend,
God Bless,

Answers to polls...(3)

If a neurosurgeon applied a brief electrical current to the cortex, movement and muscular twitches may be triggered in various parts of the body. The area stimulated is the...

The answer was d) motor cortex of the frontal lobe

The person that answered this question got it right! 100%

What type of cells are numerically dominant within the Central Nervous System?

The answer was a) Interneurons

Once again the person who voted got this right! 100%

The _________Nervous System is responsible for preparing the body for the "Fight or flight" response.

The answer was c) Autonomic

Unfortunately the person that voted got this wrong but hopefully they just clicked the wrong one. 0%

_______________________________
Once again, I'll leave these up until the answers for the next polls.

* I will also be leaving the new polls up for 3 weeks because I'm guessing that no one is going to visit the blog until end of holidays unless there is at least 1 person who still wants me to do the polls every week. Don't worry it's cool if you want the polls to continue, chill.
However, if there is a three week gap, then I'll leave 6 polls up (bottom of blog)

Have a good holiday guys! God Bless.

12/3/08 and school anouncement

Yo!

In todays class, we read halfway through a handout and discussed our knowledge of lie detectors.
How cool would it be if the school had a lie detector? lol

Unfortunately we may not be copying down some notes for a while because Ms Chasen's lappy (laptop) is in the sick bay....though some of you may view this as good news....hmm.
___________________________________________
Also, if you weren't listening or didn't hear properly.
There is and the NO Athletics carnival on Friday, unfortunately normal school will resumepostponed date for the Aths carnival is the first day of Term 2......It'll be really interesting to see how many people go...very amusing.

That's all I think.....

POPCORN Ms Chasen!

Answers to polls...(2)

Hiya!

Sorry I didn't get the answers up earlier, like yesterday....Kept falling asleep.
Anyway, these are the answers to the latest polls.

What is the image of the cursor showing? (That is the little thing on the screen which represents your mouse which you use to click things)

The answer was c) Electrical Stimulation of the Brain
I know it was kind of hard to tell without the 30 numbers on the brain and some of you not being able to see it....But come on!!!! 0% out of 3 people got this question wrong! That means no one got it right!!! Lucky it was (kind of) a novelty poll eh?

Memory of sounds of word is found in __________ of the brain. (from Checkpoints)
The answer was d) Wernicke's area

Which 100% of the 4 people that voted got right! YAY!!!!!!! Congrats to those people.

Pick out the expensive brain research method(s) (that is actually mentioned as expensive in the textbook) You can choose multiple answers.

The answers were : b) CT or CAT, d) PET, e) MRI, f) fMRI

This one was a toughie! Now this one is open to debate, you can discuss it in the FREE TALK section or the SUGGESTIONS section or just email me.
33% of 3 people voted for CT
66% of 3 people voted for PET
66% of 3 people voted for MRI
100% of 3 people voted for fMRI
As for the other possible answers, according to my sources they aren't mentioned as expensive.
But well done to the people that voted and gave it a go! :)

Once again, I will leave the old polls up for a week and then they'll be deleted.

I'm so sorry!!!! - 6/3/08

Hi guys...

I'm really, really sorry...I should have updated last night but I fell asleep until 7 am!!!!!

And then this afternoon...I had so much to do!!!

I should have put the link to the MRI game sooner but hopefully you'll have visited your school email as well which was emailed straight after class. Hopefully you guys followed Ms Chasen's advice to play the Mr Split Brainy game....

I don't think there was much other revision that I could have put up except for scanning pages from study guides....but a lot of people said that I shouldn't.....really sorry if you did....ARGH! I'm just so busy...really sorry I couldn't have given you guys more revision...

Luckily this is the easiest of the outcomes huh?
REMEMBER
Be brief and to the point.
Look at the potential marks awarded as an indication on how many points you should put down.
Put down the answers that you are most sure are correct.


I think that's all the advice that Ms Chasen gave....

AND...

DON'T OVER DO IT!

I have put the MRI game that we played in class on the WEBSITE LINKS VIEWED IN CLASS

Also, I've been looking around the nobelprize.org website and found the other games that they have...if you're interested just go to OTHER INTERESTING WEB LINKS which is also on the left side of the blog. They have games for pretty much every subject...

Psychology is under the "Medicine" section but we've already gone through those games.
However there are Biology, chemistry, literature, etc. subjects also available.

As for what we did in class yesterday and today...we just copied some more notes about the Autonomic Nervous System...and asked a few questions about the outcome. We also received a handout for the Autonomic Nervous System that we filled in, in class today.

Once again guys, I am REALLY, REALLY SORRY that I didn't post earlier....

and

GOOD LUCK!

See you tomorrow.

Steph out.

Update for handout

Hi guys

I'm sure all of you who have checked their school emails already will know this but Ms Chasen sent the updated version of "The Brain" notes....the ones about the different lobes, cortexes, etc.

The updated version contains the ethics that you need to know for the outcome. Very important.

I have also updated the blog version of the handout, it's still in the same section under MISS OUTS and is labelled UPDATED!

Good luck for the outcome!
