PSY 350 Consciousness and Sleep
Prior to completing your initial post, read Chapter 5 and 8 of your course text and viewing Sleep Disorders.
These required materials examine topics on neurotransmitter and
receptor systems, anatomical structures, neurological functional
pathways and their role in control of movement, consciousness and sleep,
and how they correlate to selected related disorders. Choose from the
following options for your initial post:
Option A: Evaluate one of the disorders of
consciousness covered this week. Explain theories of etiology
(causation), including the neuroanatomical structures,
neurotransmitter/receptor systems, and the functional nervous system
pathways involved. Include an analysis of the contribution of genetics,
the environment, and lifestyle to the development and natural history of
the condition. Provide information regarding diagnostic criteria and
evaluate options for care interventions (both pharmacologic and
nonpharmacologic). Lastly, identify the neuroanatomical structures and
any neurotransmitter/receptor systems involved.
You must use a minimum of one peer-reviewed source that was published
within the last five years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center. Your post should be a minimum of 250 words. You
may cite and reference your textbook, required reading and/or
multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.
Option B: Evaluate one of the sleep disorders covered
this week. Explain theories of etiology (causation), including the
neuroanatomical structures, neurotransmitter/receptor systems, and the
functional nervous system pathways involved. Include an analysis of the
contribution of genetics, environment, and lifestyle to the development
and natural history of the condition. What information can you add
regarding diagnostic criteria? Evaluate the options for care
interventions (both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic). Lastly,
identify the neuroanatomical structures and any
neurotransmitter/receptor systems involved.
