Outside reasing and an awsomly corny video.

Okay so i read the dopamine blog wail generally interesting it was semi boring but anyway i learned that there are lots of monoamines in our brains. And these monoamines cut up into different groups. Our brains basically make them on their own without any help. Tyrosine is what the monoamies are made out of. Dopamine is being used to cure treat and prevent life altering illnesses like Parkinson's.


The video i watched was called Memorize the parts of the brain. And it was totally awesome The guy who was explaining the mnemonic devices was really funny and you could tell he was recording himself and pausing and stopping the tape any old time he messed up. So FUNNY! But anyway the mnemonic devices actually were very helpful like the example of hypothalamus where he said to think of llamas and a hypo, saying that the hypo would REGULATE the temperature of the llamas. Very good stuff and i will use this info on the next tazer quiz/test.
