I have really enjoyed the chance to hash out new questions as they arise, and to discover the internal conflicts that I have in approaching neurobiology and behavior. While I have tended to think of the class topics from very physiological and psychological perspectives, this class has allowed me the chance to attempt to  incorporate some of the less scientifically-based conversations we have had in class into my story-teller's comprehensive view on neuroscience.

I especially enjoyed our discussion of reafferent loops, especially in thinking about them behaviorally, rather than simply chemically and physiologically. I wish we had gotten into psychological phenomena like the Yerkes-Dodson Law, which I find fascinating. I think it would have been exciting to talk about that in the context of implicit memory, and non-I-function behaviors.

Thanks to everyone for rich discussion and a great semester!
