what: created a blog map and initial outline for blog on neuralplasticity.

so what: to create a successful blog my statements need to be backed by data and facts. I learned argument deconstruction models to assist in my blog outline. I also created an outline so my blog will have good structure.

now what: begin to gather data and facts to start writing my blog.

  1. Fantastic job! I can’t wait to read your final blog. It’s going to be good.

  2. Donnie, I am excited to see where you take the neuralplasticity topic! As for the two videos we were instructed to watch, I agree with your stance. I think that both videos showed individuals who laid out the necessary, reliable information that viewers need to see.
    Good Job!

  3. Great map Donnie! Neuralplasticity is a great topic that actually fascinates me. As a spine surgeon who deals with spine deformity and spine trauma, i can tell you we are a long way still in terms of understanding how neural tissue regenerates. A major impediment is the inflammatory cascade that gets triggered when an injury happens, it tends to create a neuroglial scar that prevents the neural bundles that are newly formed from connecting correctly to one another. A lot of research is underway and there are some promising results but we have to wait for a large prospective double blinded case control trial before we can be really sure of anything in this field.

  4. Thank you guys!
    It makes me wonder if researchers are trying to understand regeneration in our cardiovascular system and how it could be applied to the nervous system. Our blood vessels for example are capable of incredible anastomosis.
    The human body has always interested me. There’s so much we know and learn daily but at the same time there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

  5. Donnie, I am also excited to see your final blog on neuralplasticity. This was an interesting subject that we barely touched on in my undergraduate degree and it is so mind boggling that our bodies are able to have neuralplasticity in some areas of the body and not others. I am looking forward to learning more through your blog. I appreciate that you placed in your blog outline that it is not neurogenesis. I am writing mine on neurogenesis and I think it can get confused with those who have not heard the terms before. Good job on your map and good luck on the blog.
