Document Summary
Slide 1b: there was a mismanagement with the water treatment. The whole town drank the contaminated water, many illnesses. Not everyone got sick (will explain later on why) Slide 2a: will talk about why some people are affected and why others are not. Slide 2b: repeat of what has been seen before. Slide 3a: first picture shows pulses second picture shows cycles (also a repeat of what we have seen before) Slid 3b: sleep deprived = less variation in set point which is driven by the biological clock, sleep deprivation recall at hyperexcited the amygdala. Slide 4a: minor brain injury shows less variation in biological clock-driven set point (just like sleep deprivation, there is some kind of protective mechanism. Slide 4b: we respond differently to long term effects of the challenges. Slide 5a: graphs shows same y-axis- just plotted on different time scales (x-axis, example: body temp. homeostasis. Slide 5b: shows range of set points.
