Help from medical surgeon

November 27 / 2017

Stage: b) planning

Approaches to learning: Communication skills because I was able to receive comments and recommendations about my blog in a proper way and canalize it into my project. 

Recently, I asked my friend Carolina for a very big favor, turns out her dad is a surgeon with a specialization in oncology, his name is Jose Gabriel Luque. Knowing that her father is very smart and knows a lot, I asked her if she would please show my blog and the information in it to him and see if he had any corrections or recommendations regarding the information I have mentioned. 

He was very nice about it and provided me with the following information:

Firstly, he said "the hippocampus is one of the most archaic structures of the human brain".

He then said "the hippocampus is capable of making you hallucinate with your olfactory memory because it bonds the olfactory sense with with the previous memories".

And finally he mentioned the hypothalamus "secretes melatonin, something that has an important role in the regulation of sleep".

Jose Gabriel was very nice and helpful in the planning stage of my project, the curious facts he provided are very interesting and I am sure they will help me very much in the redaction of my book. I am very thankful for his and my friend Carolina´s help. 😊
