Neurobiology and Behavior, Reflections

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 7:33am

Welcome to the on-line forum associated with the Biology 202 at Bryn Mawr College. Its a way to keep conversations going between course meetings, and to do so in a way that makes our conversations available to other who may in turn have interesting thoughts to contribute to them. Leave whatever thoughts in progress you think might be useful to others, see what other people are thinking, and add thoughts that that in turn generates in you.

Neurobiology and Behavior, Week 13

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Thu, 04/23/2009 - 8:44am

Welcome to the on-line forum associated with the Biology 202 at Bryn Mawr College. Its a way to keep conversations going between course meetings, and to do so in a way that makes our conversations available to other who may in turn have interesting thoughts to contribute to them. Leave whatever thoughts in progress you think might be useful to others, see what other people are thinking, and add thoughts that that in turn generates in you.

As always, you're free to write about whatever thoughts you add this week. But if you need something to get you started, how good is the "bipartite brain" story?  Does it usefully summarize observations?  Raise new questions that open new avenues of exploration?
