Neural Function<\/h5>\n

Nervous system functions like perception, memory, and even reflexes can be intricate and interesting.\u00a0 In this media piece you are creating media that accurately and simply conveys information about basic neural functions.\u00a0 Try representing the concepts in different ways within your completed piece.\u00a0 For example, a labeled illustration for neuron structure versus a table or written description of your olfaction\/novel scent results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Include in your media piece:<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An illustration of the basic structure of neurons, including how they connect, where the neurotransmitters are located, and factors that can impact axons and\/or synapses.<\/li>\n
  2. A demonstration of a neural circuit in action, it can be reaction time and\/or a reflex reaction.<\/li>\n
  3. A map of the lobes of the cerebral cortex (cerebrum), including the primary role(s) of each lobe.<\/li>\n
  4. Brief and clear descriptions of two brain disorders.<\/li>\n
  5. A description of what perception is using vision (or another sense) as an example, and how illusions (optical, or auditory, etc.) can result in miss-perception.<\/li>\n
  6. A personal hedonic rating and memory response to unidentified scents.\u00a0 Note: if you are unable to smell due to seasonal allergies, etc.; an alternate to this is provided below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
