From the following list, choose ONE topic that is the most interesting to you. If your final project is on one of these topics, please choose a different topic.

Briefly summarize the topic, its characteristics, symptoms (if applicable), the brain regions affected, and recommended treatments (if applicable). If you choose Bilingualism or Multilingualism, obviously symptoms and treatments are not applicable.

Find a recent (last three years) research article on the neurobiology of this topic and share the exciting new findings with your classmates. Summarize the study’s main findings and their practical implications for informing understanding of the condition, treatment, and/or further research. Include the link to the article and APA style reference.

Requirements:

By the Friday deadline, share your presentation with the class in this Unit 6 Assignment Forum.

By the Sunday deadline, review your classmates’ work and provide at least one (1) reply.

Pose a question at the end of your initial work for your peers and professor. All work must be done in APA format, in-text citations and scholarly resources.

You must support your 2 peers responses with scholarly sources in APA format. Simply stating your opinion is not enough, back up your opinion with citations. Tell why or why not you agree or disagree with the information in the peer posts. Your responses should be as good as your initial post! Dig deep with your responses and elaborate more on the topic and why you agree or disagree with the post. Initial post should be at least 4 paragraphs and your responses should be 4-6 paragraphs long. This is a post first forum so need the initial post before I can send the peer posts. Would like the work before Friday and sunday.
