I think it would be an interesting experiment to give a therian a CAT scan (is that the right one?  I'm no doctor) while they are going through a mental shift to see if the therian uses parts of their brain in ways that non-therians don't.

Savage from the late Werelist was doing that with another neuropsychologist.  Not sure what came of it though...

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me WVZ.  It looks like a very interesting topic of study.

Sounds like an electroencephalogram (EEG).

I had an MRI a few years ago after having migraines back to back over a weekend (joyous!), and the eye doc I went to see got all worried about me and said 'just to be safe' I should have it done. Odd experience, and the only results I got back where 'some unusual white matter' but that I was otherwise clear. Personally I think the migraines are linked to anger issues. I haven't had one for a few months now

I would like to see it Siver - could you bring it to the Howl if you get a copy? I've had some training in reading them (and have since completely forgotten - but I still have the text books......)

Wolfy, usually, if a doctor performs tests and they don't find anything remarkable, you don't hear from them unless you ask. Many people never find out what causes their headaches - they're fortunate if they find something that will control them. Since specialists have developed in the field, more people are getting actual diagnoses and headaches are becoming better understood. In the past, the EEG was the only way they had of probing the brain, now they have all kinds of imaging techniques.

Ok, i thought i would post this because 1. I know that therians are animals in human bodies but...what if the animal starts becoming more then just the "Who you are" and the human side starts going away?

My body has gone throught alote of changes but none the most disturbing then the changing of my eyes from the brightest blue to the dullest grey, and my hair going from bright blond to my current dark brown. My teeth, have also started getting a problem. They used to just be unusually sharp and longish, but now, they are almost poking out of my mouth. Its wierd. Ill notice it only when im really into something emotional and deep. My teeth will be long, very long and sharper. My hair will seem longer, more scattered, and muscles will get biger and its almost like i am taller. My nails have started growing at an unusuall rate also. Ill cut them one day, two days later they grow right back. The only thing i can get is...maybe i am starting to grow out of this infernal human body?....hopfully

just like your thingy at the bottom says that human kind has to get back in touch with nature, you have to get back in touch with humanity. but i wouldnt worry tho. your either not going to change more or your just learning how to shift fully into the animal with which you are affiliated

Yes, I'll try.

...hmmmm maybe. I never thought about that. Very possible. Thx the-animal666.

np dude =] my pleasure,

hmm, i think ill study werewolves and other "monsters" in depth to help people =]

i kinda look like the first x-men movie's sabertooth but younger and i havent got the full black eyes (tho they ARE cool) and i finally have claws!! =]

puberty it sounds like. Yea, that happens alote, as for the agrivated part, ya body is probably changing and ya brain is like "What the f***?" lol but yea. puberty sucked for me cuase i lost alote of freinds but i gained the ones i have now and we stick together forever .

yea its crapy

Hmmm...well animal-666, most of what you said does sound like just puberty.  Actually, the only thing that doesn't sound like puberty to me are the headaches.  Those sound like migranes.  I have a few family members that get those, and they can be so bad that they make them physically sick.  I know that people get them for different reasons, and I unfortunately couldn't begin to tell you why you might be having them.  I would consider asking your doctor, I would imagine your parents know about them?  The temper sounds like it could be hormones, if you're not prone to haveing a short fuse already.

Anyway, I'm not a therian so telling you that I didn't go through what you have described, at least not in the same way, probably won't be all that helpful to you.  I myself have never been one to get sever headaches and I have always had a nasty temper.  Heh, especially around age 13 or so.

P.S.  Thanks WVZ, I'll remember that for in the future.
