Watch the video about Berries and the Brain. After watching the video, answer the three critical thinking questions listed below. We will use this space to build, as a group our own body of knowledge to several topics covered in the course. There is no minimum contribution to the Blogs. You should read it and post comments or questions to me and to your fellow students about the topic. The Blogs make up part of your Blogs/Case Studies grade. Your grade will be determined based on the amount and quality of your contributions in the Blogs.
