Chapter 1of your course text examines various methods that are employed in the field of neuroscience. Choose the technique that you think is the most powerful or useful for examining the relationship between biology and behavior. As part of your discussion, indicate the part of the nervous system that would most likely be studied using this technique. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years. Neurotransmitters. This week you were exposed to a variety of neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter systems. The reading also discussed the role of these substances in response to drugs of abuse and psychological disorders. Option A: Choose one of the neurotransmitters presented this week and discuss the role it plays in modulating responses to a drug of abuse. For example, you could choose the acetylcholine receptor system and discuss the role this neurotransmitter plays in addiction to nicotine. Your discussion should also indicate the neuroanatomical structures that may play a role in addiction to this substance. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years. Option B: Choose one of the neurotransmitters presented this week and discuss the role it plays in a psychological disorder of your choice. For example, you could choose the dopamine receptor system and discuss the role this neurotransmitter has in the development of schizophrenia. Your discussion should also indicate the neuroanatomical structures that may play a role in development of this psychological disorder. Your initial posting should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source that was published in the last five years. Final Project Topic Selection. Select a psychological disorder that you would like to study utilizing a biopsychological approach. For the Final Project, you will provide a detailed discussion of the psychological disorder that you select this week. While you may refer to other areas of psychology, the Final Project must focus on the biopsychological causes and treatment approaches for this disorder. You must utilize current research in this area to evaluate the major biopsychologicaltheories about this disorder. Your research should also be used to discuss possible effective biopsychological approaches to treatment that incorporate the biopsychological causes of the disorder. Select a disorder from the following list: a. Schizophrenia b. Depression c. Anxiety d. Substance Abuse (should focus on a single drug of your choice) e. Autism f. Neurological disorders g. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Nervous System. This week, you will examine the major structures of the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the location and function of these structures. Search the Ashford University Online Library and locate a peer-reviewed research study that was published within the last five years, which examines the role of one of the structures reviewed in Chapter 4 of your course text. The research study you identify should evaluate the function of this structure in either normal or abnormal behavior. Your response must clearly identify the role of the structure in the identified behavior as well as your level of agreement with the results of the study and your rationale. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed research study that was published within the last five years. Movement. This week you were introduced to the role of the central and peripheral nervous system in controlling movement. The reading also discussed the role of these systems in movement disorders. One of the most well-known of these movement disorders is Parkinson’s disease.
