and treatment approaches for this disorder. You must utilize current research in this area to evaluate the major biopsychological theories 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 peerreviewed 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. Option A: Search the Ashford University Online Library for a peerreviewed research study or review published within the last five years that discusses the cause of Parkinson’s disease. After reading this article and the text, what structure(s) and neurotransmitter(s) do you think are most important in the development of this disorder? What does this suggest regarding possible treatment strategies for this disorder? 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. Option B: Search the Ashford University Online Library for a peerreviewed research study or review that was published within the last five years on the use of stem cells to treat Parkinson’s disease. Provide a brief summary of this article as part of your discussion. Do you agree
with the argument that the article makes regarding the use of stem cells? In your discussion, be sure to address the likelihood of this being a successful treatment strategy. You should also discuss any ethical concerns with this treatment approach. 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. Sensory Systems. This week you were introduced to the sensory systems, which include the visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and the body senses. Evolution would suggest that each sensory system is of significant importance to maintaining the human organism. For this discussion, imagine you are a professor giving a lecture on the evolutionary importance of the sensory systems. Prepare a summary of your argument. Identify which is the most important sensory system for human survival. Your discussion should also indicate which system is the least important from the perspective of the “survival of the fittest”. 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. Consciousness and Sleep. This week you were introduced to different but related topics, of sleep and consciousness. For this discussion, you will focus on a disorder of one of these topics. Option A: Identify a peer-reviewed, research study that was published within the last five years, and focuses on elucidating the cause or a new treatment for one of the disorders of consciousness covered this week. Be sure to include a discussion of theories surrounding this disorder and how this research interacts with current theories. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words. Option B: Identify a peer-reviewed, research study that was published within the last five years, and focuses on elucidating the cause or a new treatment for one of the disorders of sleep covered this week. Be sure to include a discussion of theories surrounding this disorder and how this research interacts with current theories. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words. Final Project Outline. This week you will create an outline of the main points of your Final Project, using the psychological disorder that was selected and approved by the instructor in Week One. Refer to the Final Project prompt in Week Five for the section components that must be included in your outline. Each main heading and any subheadings must include at least a two to three sentence description. You must also identify a minimum of six peer-reviewed references that were published within the last five years, which you will use for your Final Project. At least two to three of these should be research studies. Indicate which section each reference supports within your outline. Your outline should be at least one to two pages in length (excluding title and reference pages). It may be longer, depending on how much information you choose to include and the depth of your descriptions. All citations must be formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
