PSY393H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Neuroglia, Frontal Lobe, Dark Matter
Document Summary
Not because cooking and golf are different levels of difficult. Frontal cortex: when someone is hurt, first to help are emt, they test for the glasgow coma score, lowest score is a 3, no difference between 3 and death, we are all a.

Brief anatomy: insula means eyelet, white matter- axons with myelin, dark matter- cell bodies because of nucleus, sulcus- groove, gyrus- the ridges.
