We will be wrapping up Unit Four this week, which means taking a quick look at brain injuries, hemispheric specialization and handedness, and imaging techniques. Here's how we're going to do it:
1) Quick overview Monday of the various types of brain injuries/diseases. No not required, however, you may complete the study guide for extra credit. Both the lecture and study guide can be found below. As a follow-up to that , the handout "Case Studies - Brain Damage" needs to be completed by Wednesday. (It can be found below for anyone not getting a copy.)
2) Quick overview of hemispheres and handedness. This will be followed by a survey to determine your hemisphere dominance.
3) Thursday, we'll be watching the movie "Awakenings." The study guide - available below - may also be completed for extra credit.
Also, if anyone wants to earn a little extra credit while reviewing, you can find a crossword puzzle below on the brain.
Looking ahead to next week, I've included the outline for Module 5 below. This module - Sensation - represents the first quarter of the the next unit of study. The reading quiz for the module will be on Thursday, 12/8.
