Assignment 1

I think the "neuroplasticity" topic is the most interesting to me. I am in neuroscience 1001 and a lot of things we are talking about in that class relate to this class, such as the functions of different areas of the brain and how they can be rewired to substitute for damaged areas. I really like this subject because it shows how the brain is not completely hardwired like we used to think it was and there is a lot of opportunity for change in the lives of people who are physically impaired. I would really like to learn a lot about the mental disorders and how they occur, and also how they change the makeup biologically of a sufferer of a specific disorder.
