Document Summary

Dr m things to know for exam 1. Dolphins have a more folded brain that resembles that of humans giving them the ability to have complex actions but researchers do not know the extent of these behaviors. Manatees have a smoother brain with minimal folding. Lesson: size of animal does not correlate to size/complexity of brain folding. Know about the three people we met: cameron mott, sarah scott, and byron peterson. Cameron mott: had a hemisphrectomy where half of her brain was taken out due to her condition of having constant seizures. Due to her young age her brain was plastic enough and the other half of her brain was able to take on the jobs of the missing part. Sarah scott: had a stroke near the brochis area of her brain and has brochis aphasia where her speech is labored.
