PSYC325 Week 7 Assignment; Final Course Paper; Korsakoff s Syndrome

1. Question: Discuss the literature on split-brain and lateralization of function. What does the research tell us about each hemispheres ability to function independently (e.g., cognitively, creatively, etc.) and in unison? What are the implications for the cognitive neuroscientist in terms of research? 2. Question: Discuss one of the psychiatric disorders. Be sure to address both the physiological and behavioral aspects of the disorder (signs and symptoms, biochemical or genetic theories, etc....

Question: In the study of heritability estimates, increasing the genetic diversity of the subjects without introducing other changes would likely 4. Question: The sensitive period for the development of a particular trait is the period 5. Question: Deterioration of the pathway from the substantia nigra to the stri...

1. Question: Describe the recent finds on the "Nature-Nurture Controversy." How do evolutionary theory (evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology) and the study of genetics fit in to this discussion? What are the implications for the biopsychologist? And finally, is there a controversy at all? 2. Question: Describe the process of action potential conduction and neurotransmission from one neuron to another, both electrically (including saltatory conduction) and chemically. Describe how ...
