Gray Matter On My Mind: GMOMMWEB
Gray Matter On My Mind: GMOMMWEB Content is presented at a level appropriate for an advanced undergraduate or graduate student and is biased towards students who will become neuroscientists or health-care professionals and towards those clinicians who treat individuals who have neurological disorders. If you teach Neuroscience you will find GMOMMWEB to be a rich source of dynamic content to add to your instructional resources.The GMOMMWEB Search and the GMOMMWEB Movies add greater choices for accessing the material in GMOMMWEB. Most pages can be printed if you prefer reading text on paper rather than on screen. The hard work of gathering and compiling information has been done for you. I have built GMOMMWEB with the assistance of many 2D and 3D still and motion picture rendering programs and additional software that incorporates text, images and animations into compressed, high resolution web pages. Your mission (which I hope you will accept) wil be to convert this information into data that your brain can decipher and recall- no computer program yet can do that for you. Neuroscientists have provided good evidence to suggest to me and to you that your brain circuits are agile enough to learn this material if you put your mind (brain) to the task. If you have the desire and/or need to learn neuroscience, choosing GMOMMWEB as one avenue to that end is a "no-brainer". SEE GMOMM Start.

Movies and More (30 years of experience) Gray Matter on My Mind: GMOMMWEB is an interactive program in neuroscience; an electronic “book” designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate neuroscience students, health professional students and practicing health professionals who treat individuals with neurological disorders. The intellectual content is built upon my experience as a neuroscience teacher since 1976 and my work as a basic researcher in systems neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. There are currently over 225 QuickTime/ Flash Movies that provide a critical dynamic aspect to the program. Some of these movies are QuickTime Virtual Reality Movies where the learner can rotate an object (e.g., brain) in 3D. Others are Navigable Movies that allow the learner to actually navigate and pick sections of the movie to study or simulate neural events in a virtual brain. The remainder are the more typical linear movies. Many of the movies are constructed from 2D and 3D animation software. Some movies contain human kinesiologic motion data plus muscle activity (EMG audio.) Other movies contain simulated electrical or electrochemical activity of neurons and neural networks; presentation of concepts that go way beyond the printed page. Click this link Pyramidal.mov to play a movie showing a pyramidal cell being activated by synaptic input. QuickTime 7 is required to play this movie. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THE MOVIE LOADS. |

Study Buddies & Discovery- You Have Control These dynamic media (movies) are included with other interactive animations within the GMOMMWEB program. I try to make every page dynamic so that the user is actively involved in the learning process. I include a number of “Study Buddies” that provide active review of the material that should have been learned. GMOMMWEB includes a good mix of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroscience concepts/principles and numerous clinical correlations. I try to keep abreast of new material and then synthesize the information before I attempt to integrate the new knowledge into the program. This is done in a creative way to allow the student to actively “discover” the concepts or principles inherent in the information. |

Teaching and Learning Neuroscience in the 21st Century I use the GMOMMWEB program extensively in my classes to illustrate points that can be made in a few seconds rather than the many minutes that would be required without this dynamic media. I assign portions of the program to students to review outside of class. For individuals/institutions that own the site license for GMOMMWEB, the program may be loaded to individual computers or a Local Area Network (LAN) under the control of the department/program/school purchasing the site license. GMOMMWEB runs well on a high bandwidth local network (intranet) connection. GMOMMWEB may NOT be placed on a public website. Individuals who have purchased the single-user CD may NOT place the program on an LAN NOR copy the program to any computer: single-user licensee runs the program from the CD on their personal desktop/laptop computer. The individual as an instructor may share any of the GMOMMWEB information in class using a data projector connected to his/her laptop computer (single-user or site license user). |
