Welcome back dedicated blog followers!  This week 4, so we will need to dive deeper into cool information about our senses. I picked this article that talks about how taste if affected by the smell and the presentation of the food. It talks about how even though taste and sight isn't technically part of taste, it does influence perception. Cells that recognize these flavors reside in taste buds located on the tongue and the roof of the mouth when food if placed in the mouth, but concurrently, we also activate our sensory cells to perceive qualities such as temperatures, spiciness, or creaminess. Additionally, when we smell food, the information gathered by these cells is relayed to the mouth via olfaction referral which effects our perception of what the food will taste like. To try this, if you hold your nose and place a strawberry jelly bean in your mouth and chew, but you would only be able to detect sweetness and a little sourness. However, if you open your nose, the odor mole...

Hi my dedicated blog followers, today is week 3 and I will be constructing a superhero based on my birthday. I was born on January 11, 2007, which means that I must construct a hero that utilizes his power with norepinephrine and hippocampus. These are two seemingly random things, but if it had to be a superhero, it would be named Memorizer. His powers would be to help a person memorize something extremely quickly even in an extremely stressful situation since it also has the power to control the amount of norepinephrine.

He was so sad that he tried to end his life on the same day, but while he was standing on top of the building anticipating to jump down, he was met up by Cosmo, the academic god. He co...

 Hi my fellow dedicated blog readers, today I will take you through the milestones throughout my life. I was born at around 9 PM on January 11, 2007. I've always been a late bloomer my entire life. For example, I was one of the oldest babies that couldn't walk around properly, but once I got the hang of things, before I knew, I was also able to run. This was also same with my first words spoken when I was 18 months old, according to my mom, I was just babbling random words until I suddenly came across the word "mom" on accident. From that point on, there was no turning back, as I started to speak more and more word at an extremely fast pace. Though this was an extremely blurry and old memory that I have no recollection of, I can only imagine how proud I felt in the moment.  In a few years, I can clearly seem myself finishing high school and going to a college. Whether it's an in-state or out-of-state college is still a question that I ask myself, but regardless of...
