Snails - Response on Threads Part 5

[CES]

So it might not be the specific place that she it her head, Atty. Not remembering a single event doesn't signify any permanent damage to any given part of her brain (The parts of the brain that actually make and store memories are in the middle of the brain) .

It could be that there was enough overall sloshing at the time that the memory just didn't get encoded. If the memory wasn't made, it's not possible for her to remember it.

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah. Thanks. I figured that. Not what I asked, but never mind.
You made a valiant effort.


Are you going to work today? Or do you get to play hookie again?

 

[CES]

I can try to answer better, but i may not have understood what you were asking. lemme re-read what you were asking

We have a delayed start, i'll need to get my act together shortly.

 

[AttyPops]

P.S. no fair, you edited and added the answer (middle of the brain). Clever girl........

For the record, the first one went like:

(I think that phrase is kind of a joke for you even when not intended, yes?)

Hey CES....
I know as a generalization that concussion can cause memory loss...but (forgive me for asking but) does it matter what area is "sloshed"? Like, you'd say:

"Oh, yeah, she got a back-of-the-head bump, probably with a front of the brain, <whatever that term was> contra-whatever and so it impacts the ____ area that does the short-term to long-term memory formation or storage or whatever!"

I mean, I assume it must be either the back of your brain or front that does that, given that she doesn't remember and she hit the back of her head on the cement. (Sorry, IDK if this type of stuff is even what you do...so not fair of me)

The part that makes memories is in the middle of the brain, so it was likely the overall sloshing that caused her inability to remember the event.

If she hit the back of her head she might have had transient vision problems. It's possibly that she had this briefly and it has cleared.

A really hard, damaging re-bounce off the front could result in issues with judgement or impulse control. IMO, this is highly unlikely from what you described.

 

[AttyPops]

Have a good day snails.

Be careful driving CES (rest of ya too).

Good luck with power.

 

[CES]

Yep, i did edit, Atty. After i thought about it i realized what you were asking. Notice that i kindly made this into a brand new post

(giggling at "never mind" )

OK. time to get in gear. Have a good one, and stay warm and dry y'all.

 

[AttyPops]

It's OK CES. If I'd ask better questions, like "Where is the part of the brain that makes memories located?" you wouldn't have to solve a puzzle just to give an answer.

hmmm, but that might have resulted in ''more atty, please'' alas, it was not to be

have a good day, ces and atty

Smart,tib and smart kitties

that turns out to be a different answer anyway. the places where they're made aren't the same as where they're stored....

ok, really getting out of here now

What about me? What am I, ground Pepper? Poor, sad, and dejected Pepper.

what? you want atty's gf looking for more pepper???????????????

And you continue to rationalize me into nothing more than just letters put together on a computer screen. Oh yeah, that's what I do to everyone else.

 

[LostVapeMonster]

Howdy everyone.
Got dumped on pretty good by the white stuff last night.
Happy now, Franster?

 

[LostVapeMonster]

not a single one showed her face at the door!

all are still curled up in their favorite sleeping spots

My friend accidentally let my cat out last night. When he gets out, he can stay gone for hours or days, which makes for a very unhappy Lost. He came back pretty darn quickly last night. Then he curled up in bed with me and didn't move all night.

 

[TomCatt]

Diligently working on the lab clean-out; almost done
