1. Watch Headgames in class or watch it hear (Links to an external site.)
2. Answer the following questions.
   1. What is happening in the brain during a concussion?
   2. What are your attitudes/thoughts about sports-related head injuries?
   3. Were you affected or surprised by the information in this documentary?
3. Reply to these two responses.

Here is the first one you should reply to

• A concussion is usually caused by a blow to the head. It is considered a traumatic brain injury that affects your brain function. Effects are usually temporary but can include headaches and problems with concentration, memory, balance, and coordination. Traumatic brain injuries, like a concussion, can cause bruising, damage to the blood vessels, and injury to the nerves. The result is your brain doesn’t function as it should.
• In high school, I ran both cross country and track, so I experienced a fair amount of injuries while running. Although it is nothing compared to a concussion, I had severe shin splints throughout the season. I personally think that when you sign up to play a sport you should be fully aware and okay with some of the injuries you may endure. I had friends who played football and they always seemed to have concussions. When it comes to football I think that the sport, in particular, is very aggressive and needs to be less aggressive or the players should be better equipped with better headgear. Furthermore, I think football coaches should be more educated when it comes to the severity of the possible concussions their players can potentially get.
• After watching the documentary, it was a real eye-opener to hear everyone’s stories including how it personally affected them. I would say for the most part I was shocked to find out that coaches didn’t really value their players enough to let them sit out due to an injury. They were expected to simply play through the pain even if something was seriously wrong. I think there is a lot wrong when it comes to sports and that is one thing that needs to be addressed.

Here is the second one you should reply to

1. During a concussion, your brain starts to change shape very fast around the jelly like structure inside our brain. This traumatic injury will cause neurofibers to start stretching causing the neurofibers to not be able to process information like before. As the neurofibers get stretched out this causes a chemical destruction. This then will disrupt the brain and won’t be able to function like before.

2. I am a cross country and track runner and running is a mental sport. 25% can take training but when it comes to racing tough courses 75% relies on your mental toughness. Therefore, my thoughts on head-injuries is that you have to be careful with taking care of your brain because your brain is a vital thing when it comes to playing sports. Even so in some sports its very hard to protect your head like football. Most sports consist of being mentally strong and your brain has a lot to do with that. Head-injuries like a concussion are scary experiences as you might not be yourself ever again from this.

3. I was really surprised since I knew already what head-injuries can do to athletes and its sad to see it happen to athletes since most of their time they spent countless hours in the field training to be win the next game. Even though the athletes know that there is a high chance they may undergo a head-injury they still undergo with it hoping that it may not happen to them but as always it happens unexpectedly. Therefore, seeing this documentary of families being impacted by head-injuries is sad to see and to think that their athlete might not be able to play again is just another heartbreaking experience to see.

This assignment is an analysis of a selected neuropsychological disorder. The disorder you select this week will be used to complete the Week 1 assignment (topic selection). You will continue to use the same disorder to complete the Week 2 assignment (elaboration on pharmacological management of the same disorder), and the Week 6 assignment (comprehensive Critical Review of the same disorder and its management).

Your completed Week 1 and Week 2 assignments will be used as a foundation to help you complete your Week 6 assignment (Critical Review) on the same disorder. Thus, your work in Week 1 and in Week 2 will be used to support your work in Week 6.

Select a neuropsychological disorder from the following list. Your selection of topic should be based on your personal or professional experience, or your own academic or personal interest in the topic. Be sure to use current terminology from the American Psychiatric Association’s (2013) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 (DSM-5) if this disorder is discussed in that resource. Please note that Substance Use Disorder (SUD) (drug abuse, substance abuse) is not the emphasis of the course. Critical Reviews focusing on SUD or drugs of addiction will not be accepted.

Please select your topic from the following list:

• Schizophrenia
• Major depressive disorder
• Bipolar disorder
• Anxiety disorder
  • Choose and focus on one of the anxiety disorders (g., generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder).
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Neurodevelopmental disorder
  • Choose and focus on one of the neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)
• Personality disorder
  • Choose and focus on one of the personality disorders (e.g., borderline personality disorder).
• Neurocognitive disorder
  • Choose and focus on one of the neurocognitive disorders (e.g., one of the dementias).
• Neurological disorder
  • Choose and focus on one neurological disorder (e.g., multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, seizure disorder, Parkinson’s disease or any other movement disorder, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury or other acute brain injury, stroke, infectious brain pathology such as meningitis or encephalitis, migraine headache).
• Other neuropsychological disorder found in the DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) but not on the list above
  • This option must be approved in advance by the instructor before your assignment is submitted.

In keeping with the focus of this class, the emphasis of your paper should be on the neurobiology of the disorder and the related drug treatment that is used in clinical management. Other modes of treatment are not the focus of our class. For instance, papers that discuss psychotherapy, other than in passing, will not be given credit. This week, please focus on the neurobiology of the disorder (in Week 2, you will continue to elaborate on the disorder from the perspective of drug treatment). In your paper, please be sure that the following aspects of your topic are discussed:

• Explain the theories of etiology (causes) with a focus on the neurobiology of the disorder (the pathology of the disorder with an emphasis on the abnormalities of nervous system structures and function, including those neurotransmitter systems involved).
• Describe the symptomatology of the disorder and its relationship with the neurotransmitters involved.
• Discuss any anatomical changes seen with this disorder, and explain the relationship between such changes and the symptoms seen in the disorder.
• Close your paper with a summary how the dysregulation of neurotransmitter(s) and any anatomical changes would explain the physical signs and behavioral symptoms displayed by the individual diagnosed with this disorder

• Explain the political reasons (national security, protect consumer, retaliating, advancing other policies, human rights) for restricting trade.

answer question above with 3 examples

1-Researchers are interested in whether studying in the presence of a cell phone interferes with retention. Researchers randomly assign participants to a no cell phone condition, a cell phone on the desk condition, or a cell phone on the other side of the room condition. In the example, there are ___ levels of the independent variable.

A-4

B-2

C-3

D-1

2-Keyanna is interested in whether level of attractiveness influences helping behavior. To examine this, Keyanna sets up an experiment in which a man passes participants in the hallway and drops his books. Keyanna then measures how many participants stop to help the man. There are three conditions: a condition in which the man is of average attractiveness, another where the man is perceived as stereotypically unattractive, and another condition where the man is perceived as stereotypically attractive. Participants come into the lab once a week for three weeks and are assigned to each of these conditions. Keyanna’s study is an example of a _________ design.

After watching the documentary: A Business of Being Born and listening to our guest speaker, summarize 3 or 4 key points from the film and the presentation that stood out to you. Then describe how your perspective of child birth and the birthing process changed.

After viewing the PowerPoint slides read the two accounts of creation from the book of Genesis excerpted on pp. 200-203 in the Anthology of Living Religions (posted on eClass) and “The Story of Lilith” in the Document box on page 88 of World Religions: Western Traditions. In 250 words write your own interpretation of “The Story of Lilith.” Just as the rabbinic tradition arrived at an original interpretation of the two accounts of creation in Genesis chapters one and two, so too are you to arrive at an original interpretation of “The Story of Lilith.” Post your response by 11:59 p.m EST. on Tuesday, September 28, 2021.https://ca1lib.org/book/5493884/9d5c1e (Link to the western book)
