Bio
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

Psychological Psychology
This is a continuation of my series of Biological Psychology notes from my undergrad years. This next part picks up from the Four Lobes of the Brain and the three major analytic systems. The four lobes of the brain are the Parietal lobe, the Temporal lobe, the Frontal lobe and the Occipital lobe. There are two of each accept for the Occipital lobe.

Counseling Individuals Through the LifeSpan
'Counseling Individuals Through the LifeSpan' is a second edition that is written by Daniel W. Wong; Kimberly R. Hall and Lucy Wong Hernandez in 2021 by Sage Publications. This is a textbook that covers the subject of human development from conception through elderhood. This is a book that I believe could be used in a social work course as well as in counseling programs.

Biological Psychology
This article picks up where the last one left off. The dark current with the cell 'on' and inhibits the next cell in the transduction process. For example, if you are seeing a bush the rods and cones respond and once they respond they are disabled and you have a stabilized image. There is nothing there but rods and cones that do not respond that does not normally happen. The eyes continuously move focus. There is a reason for this and it is physiological nystagmus where tiny, tiny movements to new rods and cones. The brain has to track the movement of the eyes and subtract that from any other movement. The percept is a construct of what you think you see and which is built up in your head may not be true.

The next article is all about how the brain effects our vision. (Remember most of these articles are based on lecture notes that I am trying to interpret.) We humans specialize in this function for the energy that the total spectrum of energy we use to see a small range visually speaking. The output in the action potential translate to radiant energy and transduction changes form of energy to action potential. There are three strategies that are like a 'ovid-shape sphere'. One is a embryonic strategy at the neural crest that will become the spinal cord and the brain, and after that grows there is a shoot off of this and the embryo starts to grow the neurological part of the eye. The nerve and brain are based in tissues here.
