PY4207 Neuroscience and the Biological Bases- biological bases of behavior

Aligned subject learning outcomes:

 

1. Critically evaluate and apply theoretical models and methods of the biological bases of behaviour to propose solutions to current global health challenges;

2. Communicate proposed solutions to current global health challenges to a variety of audiences.

In this task you will be required to critically evaluate research from areas of the biological bases of behavior, and use the research to propose solutions to a global health issue that is directly aligned to a Sustainable Development Goal. Your response will take the form of a population-based case study analysis. The following steps apply:

1. Choose a population-based case study from the three categories provided below, and select one of the specific options. You must focus on one of the assignations below, otherwise a grade of zero will be awarded for this assessment.

2. Identify the challenge for the particular case study and population option, and formulate a research question to focus on, including the methodological approaches and research inclusions and exclusions for the literature review.

3. Conduct a literature review on your question to evaluate the current research in behavioural neuroscience.
