Answer one question from the list below:
1) Discuss three major discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the brain.
2) Where and how is a declarative memory stored in the brain?
3) How might an evolutionary perspective help us understand the function of ADHD, and how might genetic factors contribute to the development of this disorder?
4) What have we learned about executive functions from the study of patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex?
5) Analyze the neurodegenerative processes that occur in Parkinson’s disease and how it relates to the concept of “frozen addicts.”
6) What has the study of addiction told us about the neurobiology of motivation?
7) What are some ethical considerations associated with the use of animals in research on major depression and learned helplessness, and how can these be addressed?
8) Placebos change brains: what is the underlying neurobiological mechanism of the placebo effect and how does it affect the brain in the treatment of mental health disorders?
9) What are the underlying neural mechanisms of pain processing in the brain?
10) How does the interplay between genetics, neurobiology, and environmental factors contribute to the development and maintenance of major depression?
11) In what ways can the brain’s response to rewards, which is an adaptive behavior, contribute to maladaptive outcomes such as ADHD and addiction? Please elaborate on the underlying psychobiological mechanisms that may be involved.
In you presentation, you should have an introduction slide with the title of your presentation, the module name and the date. DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME (as marking is anonymous). You should also have a thank you slide. These 2 slides will not count in your 10 slides count (you will then have 12 slides when you include intro and thank you slides). On each slide, if you cite a work, add the citation on the slide (ex: Smith, 2020).
On the note section, you should include:
Your text,
A short transition sentence to next slide,
A word count (max 250) which should include the citations, but not the references, Your detailed reference APA style with DOI.
