Final Exam Info, cont.
While the alpha, beta, theta, delta rhythms from the sleep chapter will not be explicitly tested, circadian and ultradian rhythms are fair game.
The TAs will post an announcement about the review session as soon as we receive a room reservation confirmation. Stay tuned.

Final Exam Info
The majority of the final exam will be concerned with new material (everything since the Neural Systems unit which ended with the Motor System 2 lecture). However, information from the first two thirds of the course will still be covered. I advise you to review your first two exams.
Because class was cancelled for "Chemical Control of the Brain 2," the material from the text (Chapter 16) will not be included. Note: if material covered in the "Chemical Control of the Brain 1" lecture happens to be covered in Chapter 16, that may still be tested.
Also, the Learning and Memory unit of the course lasted an extra day, in place of the Attention lecture. Any Attention (Chapter 21) material that was not covered in a previous unit will be excluded from the exam.
Today's lecture about sleep did not cover brain rhythms (alpha, beta, theta, delta) in too great of detail, and those will not be covered by the exam.
Finally, there is a review session planned for Monday evening at 7pm. The location is TBD.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Best of luck studying! Do your class evaluations! And vote for a T-Shirt!
