I recently interviewed a college student who has OCD and I think the
interview would be of interest to students taking a class in
psychology since she is at (or about) their age. She talks about her
symptoms, the reaction she gets from other students and about the
treatment process she
A Canadian friend of mine who currently resides in Doha,Qatar informs me of a
friend whose Lenten resolution is to write President Obama a letter each day of
Lent.Could this be construed as a higher order OCD under the
upgraded DSM?

Thank you all for your replies.
I'm hoping to change our offering to a lifespan course (for resource
reasons and better suited to non-majors (I think)) but for now I am
stuck with adolescent since child and adolescent were the 'defaults'.
Thank you all again.

Office hours and students' visits.It appears that students are not visiting
profs in their offices as they did three or four decades ago.
Except for appointments,registration and advising,students do not appear to be
dropping in to talk or chat.As a matter of fact

While discussing the effects of REM sleep today in class, I focused on
the fact that the body's muscles are generally paralyzed. A student
then asked that if that were true how do the eyes move?
Any response out there for me?

Motor signals for eye movements are carried via the 3rd, 4th, and 6th
cranial nerves and don't pass through the reticular formation.
At least I assume that's it. I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Yes, doesn't sleep-talking occur during REM as well as NonREM sleep?

The paralysis starts at about the neck. The face, eyes, mouth can all move

I think REM-on cells in the pons and medulla cooperate to produce
the rapid eye movement and the loss of skeletal muscle tone
respectively (mediated through spinal motor neurons)

Good set of responses to the original question about REM motor inhibition
eye movements. Just want to correct one response. Eye movements are not
controlled by autonomic systems. The poster may have been thinking about
functions like pupil dilation/contraction, which are, in fact, controlled
It's my understanding that species that sleep standing up are able to lock
their knees so they remain standing up. I used to have a great picture of a
cat sleeping in non-REM sleep with its head upright, and then stretched out
totally limp during REM sleep.
I also don't believe in cow tipping
