Trevor will be able to: 1) Find the mean and standard deviation after multiplying each value by a constant; 2) Find the mean and standard deviation after adding a constant to each value; 3) Find the mean and standard deviation of combinations.
Read about and discuss the varied subsets of receptors which are involved in the binding of benzo's and the subsequent binding of GABA to the receptor, with the associated reactions. How the different subsets will cause a different response, from anti anxiety to muscle relation to antispasosis.
Look specifically at librium and valium, their uses and history as well as the adverse affects and the degree of tolerance and dependence. Compare the structure to the barbituric acid molecule which preceded it.

We looked at the chemistry of the general molecule and the additional and substitutions which create the differing responses of the benzodiazepines. Discussed the possibilities of dependence and tolerance and the recommendations of the WHO. Trevor seems to want to learn about the actions and receptor alignments.
Trevor will be able to 1) Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of discrete random variables; 2) Find probabilities of continuous random variables using the normal distribution.

Listed and discussed pharmacology of action and that of gaga. Trevor was 30 min late
Discuss the effect of benzo's on GABA and review the effect of GABA on mood, anxiety and depression. List and discuss the uses of Benzo's for treatment based on their effect on the blood levels of GABA. Discuss the effects of withdrawal, the symptoms and the type of drugs which will increase the toxicity of Benzo's especially during withdrawal.
