Question: A lot is happening these days as far as understanding the physiology of the brain. Your assignment is to keep your eyes and ears open to news about psychology, especially physiological psychology, and report what you find out about this topic to the class. For example, what are some of the discoveries scientists have made recently about the brain? About behavioral genetics? Neurotransmitters? New drug therapies? New uses for old drug therapies? Brain functioning? (Note: these are just ideas, you don't have to find research for every category mentioned here.) Describe the research you've found, including the type of study that was carried out. Was it a Survey, a Case Study, a Correlational Study, a Controlled Experiment or Naturalistic Observation that was used to find out the new information about human behavior as it relates to the brain or physiological psychology? In order to get the maximum points for this post, be sure to tell us where you got your information. Maybe you saw an interesting story on T.V., or listened to an expert on MPR (Minnesota Public Radio, FM 91.1 - an excellent source for news and information about just about anything). Maybe you saw an article i in the newspaper or a recent edition of Psychology Today, or a psychological journal. Or maybe you looked up a website to get more information about a topic that piqued your interest when you were reading Chapter 2. Be specific about where you got your information. You must have two sources besides your textbook.
