mental illness. Identifying how a women’s physical health and psychological distress can impact fetal behavior and development will help unfold the convoluted world of the origins of mental illness. The prenatal time is an essential time for neurobiological development. Although the fetus is safe from many external influences, it is experiencing the world through its mother leaving it in an intensely vulnerable state. A powerful means of testing causal effects is through experimental methods. However

neuroscience but questions over the main cause of onset of the disorder still arise. Researchers have concluded through the most current research that the most influential factors in the development of bipolar disorder are psychological trauma and neurobiological abnormalities. I argue that researching psychological trauma is the best way to understand and treat the disorder; however inconsistencies and lack of research in both psychology and neuroscience has led researchers to misinterpret data thus creating

misuse behaviour characterised by a strong desire to continually take the drug in uncontrolled manner, which leads to withdrawal symptoms once the dosage of the drug is discontinued (Koob, Sanna & Bloom, 1998). This disorder has its roots in both neurobiological and social processes (Galizio & Maisto, 2013), this essay will critically discuss both the biological and social catalysts in which substance misuse initiates and leads to substance misuse behaviour, with reference to the psychopharmacology of

predicting cues. Incentive-salience encodes the value attributed to a certain reward in a specific moment and incorporates two factors including the previously learned associations about the conditioned stimuli, but also the current physiological and neurobiological state, which allows for dynamic reward-related behavior (Berridge, 2012). Berridge stresses (2007) that incentive salience is not ’liking’ and it is also not learning. Even though learning is necessary to guide ’wanting’ onto specific and ap-

provided a helpful neurocircuitry framework that identifies the neurobiological and neuroadaptive mechanisms implicated in the growth of drug addiction. The brain reward system implicated in the development of addiction is composed of key elements of the basal forebrain with a focus on the nucleus accumbent and central nucleus of the amygdala (Koob, Neurobiology of Addiction, 2011). The research done in this study supports the neurobiological models show that many phases of the addiction cycle had a precise

Neurobiological changes game The vision our group had for the neurobiological changes game was a game that the app users would play following completion of the information section of the app. Within this game there will be an avatar who is on a journey to recovery, at certain points in the

pleasure, maybe attention could be what the person would want. Humanism could explain why the person does not want to join any activities. Maybe the student has had bad thoughts, humanism would explain why they would react to that negatively. The Neurobiological Approach would explain that the person has a free will of not wanting to join any activities. Psychology has several solutions to a problem like a new student not wanting to join in any activities at their new

Week 7 FPP Assignment Kelsy Weavil Q1. (1a) Outline the processes of nociception: Nociception is a neural process that senses and responds to harmful stimuli, for instance in this scenario Linda rolling her ankle. Nociceptive pain comes from an actual or potential mechanical or chemical stimuli that causes injury to non-neural tissue, this is due to the activation of nociceptors. (1) Nociceptive pain has 5 phases: Transduction, Conduction, Transmission, Modulation, and Perception. • Transduction

physical neuronal structure as well as the study of function. However, Sutton argues that G&S think that utilizing any mention of function in neurobiological explanations thus invokes nonbiological concepts. Since neurophysiology by definition contains some abstract description of the “functional organization” of the nervous system, which are not purely neurobiological, Sutton asserts that the radical neuron doctrine (RND) as defined by G&S “is ludicrously strong.”

issues which have all had different implications for the brain = behavior argument. Some who have been skeptical of the validity of this idea have been swayed by observations that processes and behaviors they originally thought to have a cloudy neurobiological basis in fact have a sound biological and physiological underpinning. One such phenomenon which can help elucidate the ongoing brain = behavior debate is Post-Traumatic Stress disorder, or PTSD. Most people are familiar in some sense with the
