I'll be out of commo much of the weekend, so be sure to carefully read the explanation to clear up your uncertainties. I'll see you Tuesday.

The Autonomic Nervous System slide show has been updated.

IMPORTANT

You have until the day of the final examination to choose to withdraw from the course. If you choose to withdraw from the course, you will receive a W as your final grade. This will not affect your GPA. If you look at or touch the final examination, then you officially and IMMEDIATELY forfeit your right to withdraw. In that case, you will receive a letter grade (A,B,C,D, or F), which WILL affect your GPA. It is your responsibility to check the class standings and know whether you have a chance of passing. If you choose to withdraw before the final examination, let me know.

The Special Senses slide show has been updated.

At this point in the semester it becomes very important to keep your eye on the orange columns in the Class Standings and to understand the explanation.

Also, if two of your lecture examination scores are tied for the lowest score, then you'll need to email me and tell me which one (if any) you'd prefer to retake on the day of the final examination. Otherwise, I'll choose for you.

If you choose to withdraw from the course, you should email me to let me know. You should NOT assume that I will give you a W instead of an F if you simply stop attending.

When I told you during lecture that another name for the direct pathways is "pyramidal system", I forgot to mention that another name for the indirect pathways is "extrapyramidal system". "Extra-" means "outside of", as in"extraterrestrial" (outside of Terra, or Earth).

The handout for the Transverse Sections of the Human Brain was SUPPOSED to look like this:

You should replace your copy immediately. I'm sorry about the confusion.

I've added labeled and unlabeled versions of the Cadaver Cross Sections under Course Materials.
