BIOLOGY ESSAY ASSIGNMENT

Introduction to the paper, including thesis on what you seek to find in your essay.

Introduce and briefly discuss one of the "disorders affecting the frontal lobe" refer to (Kolb & Whishaw, 2015). Indicate why this disorder is an important avenue for future research.

Discuss the issue of physcosurgery. Discuss what you discovered and place what you have learned, do you think an updated version of some sort of psychosurgery is justified or do you think that this sort of surgery should be confined to "make mistakes to learn from" and be left to psychiatric historians to further debate?

What are your thoughts on the efficacy of linking emotion and consciousness? Is there a nexus between the two? Express the thoughts of Kolb & Whishaw 2015 when they said "severe impairments in emotional experience would lead to compromised consciousness, an idea that is novel and certainly wide open for future study"

What do you think of the "benefits of complex environments" in terms of brain development and experiencing an increase in the size of the neocortex? Briefly discuss, in your view, why this makes sense or doesn't make sense? As what are the further implications that might stem from these findings?

Why do you think that Kolb & Whishaw contend that the psychopathology of schizophrenia is so difficult to define? Why is this the case? Argue briefly for changing the term "schizophrenia" to some other appropriate diagnosis or, for maintaining the term as is.

Discuss the efficacy of "micronutrients and behavior" particularly how mood disorders apparently are influenced by "dietary vitamins and minerals"

Lastly, a conclusion of your research.
