PSYC 106 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Oliver Sacks, Gliosis, Glial Scar
Document Summary
Oliver sacks- the man who mistook his wife for a hat. Take away message of the article- abstract- Dif groups: ee- enriched environment, se-standard environment, ir- risodomy. Enriched environment doesn"t have any effect of on tissue volume. Enriched environment- improve the behavioral skills but not the regular environment. Ir---- standard: risodomy- surgery- selectively destroys nerve routes- so they get no somatosensory input to the forelimb- getting no feedback from the limb- can move but no feedback. Risodomy- doing bad standard environment: gliosis-is a bad thing. Could be number of times could be proportion. How do they create this lesion: cortical compression- compressed all the tissue focus on figures- 13 questions if you can explain the figures- you should know entire paper find which one is control group- to see what is a good score- closer to normal better the score.
