Discussion 1
This discussion is an analysis of the methods used by neuroscience investigators to study the biological basis of psychological function. Prior to completing your initial post, complete this week's readings in your course textbook and watch Multicellular Organisms and their Nervous Systems and Discovering the Human Brain: New pathways to Neuroscience, with Susan Bookheimer, PhD. These materials examine various investigational methods such as imaging technology, laboratory science techniques, and special studies that provide information about structure (nervous system anatomy and cellular structure) and function (nervous system and cellular function). Evaluate the methods described and select one method you think is the most powerful or useful for examining the relationship between biology and behavior. 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 technique? Elaborate on the investigational method you chose and the target systems or conditions you have identified to be studied by this technique.
Discussion 2: Profits and Assets
Value: Participation
Locate the most recent 10K reports for Panera and one of its competitors on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website.
• Based on component percentage analysis and ratio analysis, what is your assessment of the profitability of Panera in the three most recent years?
• How does Panera's profitability compare with one of its competitor (indicate the competitor that you used)?
Discuss your assessments of the two companies based on this analysis.
Discussion 3:
Identify a food distribution company importing food into the United States from other countries. Discuss how the challenges and emerging trends detailed in this article apply to that company.
