hey hi hello

i'm just a senior trying to survive my ap tests and writing out notes is really helpful.



* ap biology index
* ap psychology index



☆ sorry everyone, i won't be updating anymore!! i hope you can make use of the information already here, but... there isn't going to be anything new. after finishing all my AP tests in 2012, i can't really bring myself to put any more work into this thing.

☆ never fear, though!! as exam season draws closer, there will be a definite increase in panicked students creating study blogs trying not to forget anything, so you won't be alone!
just check the tumblr tags for your respective exams.

☆ do your best!!

tools for brain research

electroencephalogram (EEC):

  • records patterns of electrical brain waves
  • reveals areas that are most active during particular tasks or changes in mental states.
  • can trace abnormal brain waves caused by brain malfunctions such as epilepsy.

positron emission tomography (PET) scan:

  • researchers inject a harmless radioactive form of glucose into the bloodstream
  • PET scan shows colour-coded, computer-generated images of the brain providing information about glucose metabolism
  • originally designed to test abnormalities - now also used to identify which brain areas are active during ordinary activities

computerised tomography (CT) scan: 

  • uses x-rays to create a static picture of the brain, revealing the effects of strokes, tumors, and other brain disorders
  • widely used in research because it is the least expensive type of imaging 

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):

  • uses a high-frequency magnetic field to produce detailed, high-resolution pictures of the brain
  • used to map brain structures and identify abnormalities
