Host Kevin Patton discusses the many ways case studies can be used in teaching, why they enhance learning, and where to find them. Also, updates in factors underlying left-handedness, functional maps of the brain, and reversing biological age, plus some tips on responding to student questions. 00:44 | Left-handedness 02:54 | Responding to Students 22:30 | Sponsored by HAPS 22:59 | Mapping Brain Functions 26:55 | Sponsored by AAA 27:14 | Reversing Age 30:32 | Sponsored by HAPI Online Graduate Program 31:18 | Case Studies in Teaching A&P 47:59 | Staying Connected

If the left half of the brain controls the right half of the body then only left handed people are in their right mind. ( W.C. Fields) 1 | Left-Handedness2 minutes A new report suggests that left-handedness, which one in ten of us exhibit, is partially influenced by genes. One effect of these genes is to change the structure of our body cells' cytoskeleton. Of course, a lot more work has to be done. By left-handers and right-handers alike. - Left-handed DNA found - and it changes brain structure (brief summary article) my-ap.us/2AfTLAQ

 2 | Responding to Students19.5 minutes Half of students don't read the syllabus, don't read directions, don't listen to us—which can produce some frustrations when they reach out to us with questions that they already have the answer for. Somewhere nearby them. Kevin gives some tips on how to to handle these with grace and ease (taking barely any time or effort), as well as advice on heading them off before they are asked.  3 | Sponsored by HAPS0.5 minutes The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

Anatomy & Physiology Society theAPprofessor.org/haps  4 | Mapping Brain Functions4 minutes We've all see various functional maps of the human brain. But once you get down to the smaller regions, or parcels, it gets weird. Beyond a certain resolution, things are very flexible. Because functions of tiny parcels vary with the state of that region of the brain in any given moment, we will probably not be able to produce a high-resolution functional map of the brain—even for any one individual. - There is no single functional atlas even for a single individual: Parcellation of the human brain is state dependent (research article) my-ap.us/2Aighc0

 6 | Reversing Age3.5 minutes Can biological age be reversed? Some research in a small group of older men suggest it may be possible. Using a cocktail of common drugs, their epigenomes showed a younger biological age. Hmm. - First hint that body’s ‘biological age’ can be reversed (brief summary from Nature) my-ap.us/2Ad78BR

 2 | Old Gray Coat8 minutes You ever see me in my classic, reliable, sporty (really old) gray sport coat at a HAPS conference? If not, then maybe you haven't seen me at a HAPS conference within the last 20 or so years. Or any conference, for that matter. Having nearly lost it after the 2019 HAPS conference, I use my bad experience with a dry cleaner to more fully realize the importance of good customer-service skills when dealing with students. 3 | Sponsored by HAPS0.5 minutes The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

Anatomy & Physiology Society theAPprofessor.org/haps4 | Brain Cell Comparisons2 minutes The current flurry of cellular and molecular research on brains is largely carried out in mice, with the assumption that it will inform us about human brains. Is that valid? How far does it go? Kevin cites a recent report that furthers our understanding of this comparison. - Conserved cell types with divergent features in human versus mouse cortex (journal article) my-ap.us/2ZtUptu
 5 | T Cells Attack Brain Stem Cells2.5 minutes Yeah, another update on making new neurons in adult brains. This time, we find some evidence that "rogue" T cells may attack stem cells in the brain, specifically in the subventricular zone (SVZ), thus slowing the rate of making new neurons. - Rogue immune cells can infiltrate old brains: Killer T cells may dampen new nerve cell production in aged mice (summary article) my-ap.us/2LgPvWI

Kevin continues to share a bunch (perhaps not exactly 49) strategies he has found to work in creating and nurturing the kinds of connections that help retain students and support their success in the course. This classic segment from Episode 22 focuses on adding faces to an online course (sort of like in a face-to-face course), plus how to use scheduled video, audio, and text announcements to stay connected with students. "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
