Hello Scholars,
I just got back from the family trip to the beach (if you had been in class and listening you would have know this and wouldn’t be emailing me everyday about grades). The grades are looking pretty good and should be in the system with in the next few days.
Unfortunately, one person took the exam on a strange computer in a strange place and it kicked them off half-way through… this means (if I am a nice guy) that I will make them up a new final exam and have them come in to the university and take it which sets us back a few days.
I’m also planning on reviewing the bad questions (or rather bad scoring key) and tossing everyone some points to make up for it… I’m thinking the grades are going to be really good. A large number of people in the class have A’s already, without the points. I, of course, give myself full credit for setting up a learning environment that takes advantage of the way your brain works. 
Those of you that played along will be positively reinforced. I encourage you to keep up the tricks I shared with you
Don’t forget to come and visit and say hi when you see me wandering around campus… it was a really fun summer.

We are going to take our time and spend two full sessions on the topic… I hope you have as much fun as I will.

The grades were great again. How’d you guys like the collab exam. I was just checking to see if you were paying attention and you were.
If any of the database questions got screwed up again this go around, please share with everyone by using the comment function on this post. Make a complete argument and explain why so that the knowledge will stay with you… you shoudl see your grades in VISTA.
IS ANYONE ALLERGIC TO DOGS? We might have a visitor today for our learning class.
See everyone at 3.

Scholars,
I added a page of mostly visual illusion links. You’ll see it on the right under pages.
You will also find the demo on top down processing we used in class and some other stuff. Enjoy.

I didn’t clarify this on Monday:
Looking at page 99 of the text, refering to acetylcholine neurons in the CNS involved in Alzheimer’s. Do all neurons house specific/unique NTs. If not, what is the mechanism which determines which neurotransmitters are released and when?
I realize when we discussed it in class it seemed like a single neuron used a single neurotransmitter, that is not a limitation (so yes it is even more comlicated)…but I then began to wonder just how much a neuron could multi-task… how many different communication tools could one neuron use… for this answer I went and asked Dr. Llloyd. He told me the following…
They can indeed multi-task. The combinations are limitless, but often include traditional transmitters (monoamines, indolamines, etc.) being coupled to transmitters with different release mechanisms (neuropeptides, soluble gases like NO and CO, etc.). Therefore, there are co-neurotransmitters. — Steven A. Lloyd, Ph.D.

I’m also gonna toss everyone a few bones based upon the fact that the test bank has at least two horrible errors in it.

So we have some serious material to tackle this week. Today is Neuroscience/Physio and Wednesday is S&P. Then on Friday we do our testing.
Remember to keep up with our schedule this summer.
The test grades were really good. Keep up the excellent work.
