Question

By the INITIAL POST date in the course Calendar you should write a post that answers these questions, using information from the textbook and other reputable sources.

By the FINAL POST date in the course Calendar you must reply to AT LEAST two other posts on the board, using the "yes and..." format. This means that in each of your responses to others, be sure to include some additional thoughts, comments, or information that further the discussion.

IN ALL posts (both your initial posts and your final posts) be sure to support your points with information from the textbook and other reputable sources. Include links or citations for where you found the information -- that way we can look at it ourselves if we'd like to.

DISCUSSION INSTRUCTIONS

Neuroscience for Kids is a wonderful website with a large amount of information on the brain and related topics...all written at a very understandable level. Below are the "Table of Contents" links from the website. For this discussion, select *THREE* links (each should come from a different section on this table of contents list....so you could pick one from "Brain Basics", one from "Drug Effects", and one from "Sensory Systems") from each of the following sections, and write a brief review of how these pages help to explain or expand on information from the Biopsychology chapter.   At the end of this discussion, we should have some additional study tools for that first test! :)
