The Nervous System
In your discussion:Select one method you think is the most powerful or useful for examining the relationship between biology and behavior.Do not choose a category of investigational methods, but be sure to select one method (e.g., do not choose imaging technology but instead choose one type of imaging technology).Evaluate the method you have selected.Would this method be best used for basic research, initial diagnosis of a clinical condition, ongoing patient management, or a combination of these analytic practices?What part of the nervous system (anatomical structure, function, cellular chemistry and function) would most likely be studied using this methodWhat behavioral health or neurological condition could be studied by this method?Describe how knowledge of neuroscience investigational methods would assist someone in a career that uses a degree in psychology.Remember, a degree in psychology opens the door to many options regarding career choices. These include positions in human resources, the helping professions (e.g., medicine, counseling and behavioral health, teaching, social work, ministry, and nursing), science, marketing, law enforcement, and more.Some examples to consider might be sharing the information youve learned to help you educate a patient/client:Regarding their diagnosed neuropsychological disorder and the need for medication.Why we now evaluate psychological disorders from multiple aspects (biological, psychological, social).Why their child is ready for specific developmental milestones due to neurological maturation.
