Discussion Methods Of Neuroscience Investigation
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 in your course textbook, and watch the Multicellular organisms and their nervous systems and Discovering the human brain: New pathways to neuroscience, with Susan Bookheimer, Ph.D videos. These materials examine various means of investigating neuropsychology, such as imaging technology, laboratory science techniques, and special studies that provide information about structure (nervous system anatomy and cellular structure) and function (nervous system and cellular function).
This discussion is an analysis of the various ways neuroscience investigators study the biological basis of psychological function.
In your discussion:
• Select one method you think is the most powerful or useful for examining the relationship between biology and behavior.
o Do not choose a category of investigational methods, but be sure to select one method (e.g., do not choose "imaging technology" but instead choose one type of imaging technology).
• Evaluate the method you have selected.
o Would this method be best used for basic research, initial diagnosis of a clinical condition, ongoing patient management, or a combination of these analytic practices?
o What part of the nervous system (anatomical structure, function, cellular chemistry and function) would most likely be studied using this method?
o What behavioral health or neurological condition could be studied by this method?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
