Neurobiology and Behavior, Week 3

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 9:37am

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.

Reflections: brain and behavior

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Thu, 05/01/2008 - 7:03am

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. You're welcome to post here any thoughts that have arisen during the course this week (and to respond to thoughts others have posted)

So, what has changed (or not changed) in your thinking about the brain, behavior, and/or the relation between them in our semester?  If you need some help reflecting, go back to your thoughts at the beginning of the semester and use those as a starting point.
