Psych is interesting.

I just had a lecture which was pretty much normal along the lines of regular psych. Talking about brain and its properties, areas, hemispheres, lobes, et cetera. We got onto the subject of the two halves of the brain and what functions we think they control. In terms of physical movement, the right brain handling the left side of the body's functions and vice versa, right? Well we were then shown a clip of this five, six year old girl? Something like that. She'd had this epileptic condition where she'd recieve seizures ALL the time, and frequently the entire left half of her body would become immobile. It wasn't cureable by any more convenient means, like medication or therepy-type treatment. So what did they do? They did surgery and CUT THE RIGHT HALF OF HER BRAIN RIGHT THE FUCK OFF. Took the entire half out. She was left, literally, with half a brain. Thanks to research into the brain's ability to repair and compensate, we knew that this wouldn't be a catastrophic action to take. Her left brain began to replicate so to speak, new neurons being created and changing their physical makeup and form to take on tasks that the right brain once handled! So she was able to again move her left arm and leg... within ten days she walked right out of that hospital. After a couple years you would not even be able to tell the difference. Her left brain repaired to the point where she can live and function just like any other normal human being... with a few certain limitations but if you talked to her, saw her walk, dance, talk, sing... you would never know or notice, ever. That is so whack.

I'd talk a bit more about how class and stuff is going, but I keep a blog - which is up to date! - so I have a definite excuse. Sam does a little though he doesn't really update like I do. Peter's off the hook 'cause he actually posts here. Seriously though! None of all y'alls add to this page very much anymore! A quick few sentances to let us know how you're doing, what's going on in your world... that'd be real nice sometimes...
