How can studying behavior affected by damaged brains tell the Biopsychologist about behavior when the brain is healthy?

2. Previously, a local newspaper ran an article in the Health Matters column about obesity in the dorms that documents the increase of college age students who are over weight; and I am sure that most of you have heard about the Freshman 15 (the tendency for incoming students to gain ~15lbs during the first year of college). With this in mind, please post your response as to what you believe is the reason for this tendency to gain weight in college and what can be done about it? We look forward to reading your ideas. Reminder: You will not be able to view other students’ post until you post your own.

4. In my experience, 8 hours or more of sleep is one of those behaviors many people see as a luxury and not a necessity. Most of us, at one time or another, have decreased the number of hours spent sleeping in order to spend more time on other activities (e.g., studying for a test or working). We all need some sleep for optimal performance and health. I need about 6 hours a night, and maybe 30 minutes of nap/meditation time during the day. So how much sleep do you need?
