Old Brain New Tricks

So I did this with Alicia and neither of us understand how the tongue is connected to the eyes. The article specifically said they both have no connection. We came up with the idea that it may go threw first the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex. Once the message is received it would go threw the parietal lobe of the sensory cortex. From that, the message is taken over to the occipital lobe that would possibly have been taken over by other parts of the brain due to plasticity.

MDMA (Ecstasy)

MDMA releases serotonin, dopamine,norepinephrine, and acetylcholine. It also releases prolactin and oxytocin. MDMA is an agonist and it creates an amplified sense of intimacy, mood lift and arousal. It will also give you increased energy and alertness.
After prolonged use of MDMA not having it in your system anymore could cause anxiety, depression, headaches, and restlessness. MDMA has also been associated with liver damage and excessive wear of teeth.

Interview with a Dead Guy

I like this project, because it was more creative than most other projects like just having to type an essay. It gave us something to do that was actually interesting and different. The only thing that i didn't like was having to watch our own videos in class, its mildly embarrassing. Oh and well i guess i didn't like how much time doing watching the videos took, but that can't really be changed.
I think that this should be kept as a project. Other students will like it, and it gives everyone the change to be creative.
