Fall Semester 2007

 

     These web-based materials are designed to help the student to prepare for class and review lecture notes and textbook materials, and to provide information, due dates, and reminders for students in Biological Sciences 3520.  THIS MATERIAL IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE ATTENDANCE IN CLASS AND READING OF THE TEXTBOOK, but rather as a guide to the organization and location of important concepts.

Question

 

     Questions of general interest to the class will be posted here, along with answers
          (or at least hints to help discover the answer).

 

Q:  Did we cover the causes and consequences of a stroke (item #6 on Neurophysiology II

      objective sheet)? I can't seem to find it in my notes.

 

A:  I don't think I got to that.  I should have eliminated objective #6.  However, if I told you

      a certain area of the brain was damaged by a stroke, you should be able to tell me the

      consequences, knowing the function of that area.  For example, damage to the right frontal

      lobe should cause paralysis on the left side of the body.
