The hardest part for me was getting through the classes that you don't actually need for the major, haha. I have an irrational hatred of math. But weirdly, I was never really an A student until I discovered what I wanted to do. Then, school became so fascinating that studying was actually fun :)

Ooh, fun question! *rubs hands together excitedly* I think that it would be possible via fMRI. More "active" brain regions use more oxygen. fMRIs can actually measure the differences in iron content of oxygenated vs. deoxygenated red blood cells. When an area of the brain is in use, that area...

This thread is making me laugh so hard. Sorry, I have no contribution whatsoever.

Go for it! It's not too difficult if you're truly interested in it :)

My favorite part is probably learning the different areas of the brain and how they affect you. There isn't just ONE place for everything; many different areas of the brain are always "helping out". But it's cool to learn that if something goes wrong in a tiny little place, it could affect you...

Sure! In fact, I can recommend a great book to you called Mind Wide Open. It's a fun read and very informative :)

-I can remember sitting in my stroller, laughing at a Micky Mouse balloon. -I remember the first day I actually READ letters and it all suddenly made sense... it was a My Little Pony narrated coloring book. -I remember the little boy I had a crush on in pre-school. Weird.

It's definitely fun! I still have a lot to learn though. I think I might know the least out of everyone who I work with, hehe. But I still have more classes to take.

I didn't vote for him. He's extremely articulate and knows just the right to say... he's just never had me convinced. He scared me, frankly. I've never seen people worship someone so fanatically.

Yea, I have a terrible short-term memory too. Short-term memories are consolidated in the front of the brain, which is not part of the limbic system. Think of it as a temporary storage system. Unless you rehearse these memories based on just how interesting you find them, they won't get sent to...

I origionally posted this in another thread, but now I'm kind of curious about the opinons of a broader population than in one thread. So without further ado... I'm a neuropsych researcher, and with some simple deducing (and confirmation from Von Hase), I've concluded that INFJs may likely...

I'm suggesting that the dopamine and serotonin receptors may cross at thelimbic system in INFJs. But I'll research it a little more :)

This perfectly describes an ENTP friend of mine. Actually, we were best friends since childhood, and holy cow, what an unlikely pair we were. We had enough in common to be close friends (academic interests, mutual friends, love beer, same church), but he was just exhausting to be around! If no...

Yea, it's gonna have to be delicate... And it's going to depend on whether or not the mutual attraction still exists. If I don't sense any vibes coming from his direction anymore, I'm definitely not going to push it. Posted via Mobile Device
