Problem: Cognitive Neuroscience
The structure and function of the nervous system is important in understanding the basic physiology of neurons and anatomy of the nervous system.
For this problem, create an infographic that outlines the basic functions of the brain and nervous system.
Using two to four scholarly sources, address the following prompts in your presentation:
I. Cellular Level
II. Identify the structure and function of neurons.
III. Differentiate between neurons and glial cells (microglia, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes).
IV. Summarize the process of the action potential.
V. Summarize the process of synaptic transmission.
VI. Brain
1. Identify the major lobes of the brain and describe their function.
2. Identify AT LEAST ONE subcortical structure (e.g., basal ganglia, thalamus, hypothalamus) and describe its function.
VII. Nervous System
1. Illustrate the major divisions of the nervous system.
2. Identify the function of each division (central, peripheral, autonomic, sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic).
