Assignment:

As we examine neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, it is important to consider the various concepts we've learned throughout this course how they might interact to increase risk or vulnerability to these disorders. As you read through your Learning Resources, consider things like chronic stress, genetics, sleep, social behavior, emotions, brain growth and development, sex and gender, etc. and how they might influence at least one of the disorders we will examine in this unit.

Choose a neurodegenerative disorder and another concept we've covered in this class. Explain how these two things are connected or are hypothesized to be connected. Cite peer-reviewed research to support your answer. I choose " Parkinson's disease" and Chronic Stress"

Then

Choose a psychiatric disorder and do the same thing - explain how this disorder and the concept/process/aspect of neurophysiology you learned in class are connected or are hypothesized to be connected. Cite a relevant source in support. I choose " Anxiety Disorders" and Sleep."
