Educational Neuroscience . Educational neuroscience is an exciting new discipline that brings together research from psychology, neuroscience and pedagogy to help educators make the best curriculum, instructional and assessment choices for effective learning. Locate an article in the Ashford Online Library that investigates findings from cognitive and neuroscientific research. Provide a brief summary of the article and explain how the findings could be translated into what educators do in schools and classro...…

The field of biological psychology is quite an interesting one, it mainly boils down on study of psychological and behavioral analogy. There are several methods used in the process of scientific research study in biological psychology, one of such methods involves imaging the brain ( with the aid of imaging techniques f MRI machines in particular) while finding a way to know areas of the brain that is hosts certain mental processes, likewise, “studying the effects of lesions on behavior, modulating the activity of certain components of the brain chemically and studying the effects on behavioral outputs, modifying the genetic constitution of organisms in an attempt to discern the genetic correlates of certain behaviors or behavioral tendencies, and applying electrical stimulation to certain brain centers,”(Pinel, 2009).…
It includes the operation of the human brain, spinal cord and other biological functions. Some examples are chemical imbalance and brain circuitry. Neuroscience also looks at the study of heredity and evolution. Ted Kaczynski and Joel Rifkin have demonstrated that neuroscience…
The study of the biology of behavior has a long history, but biopsychology did not develop into a major neuroscientific discipline until the 20th century. Although it is not possible to specify the exact date of biopsychology’s birth, the publication of The Organization of Behavior in 1949 by D. O. Hebb played a key role in its emergence (Pinel, 2009).…

Biological Psychology is more known for behavioral and neurobiology neuroscience. This is a very interesting and exciting one. It is chiefly concerned with elucidating the neurobiological basis of psychological and behavioral phenomena.…

Biological psychology focuses on the neural properties of psychology ranging from the fundamental unit of the brain, the neuron, to the highest levels of cortical organizations in the brain. It takes into account many different biological variations explored on the nature side of the nature vs. nurture debate. Topics that are in the field of biological psychology include neuroscience, neurochemistry, and neurophysiology. The development of brain scanning equipment, such as MRI, allows scientists to look at regions of the brain that become active due to working on certain tasks as well as looking for abnormal regions of the brain that are correlated with abnormal behavior.…

Abnormal Psychology(deviance): Abnormal psychology is the branch of psychology that studies unusual patterns of behavior, emotion and thought, which may or may not be understood as precipitating a mental disorder.…

The project is successfully completed within a short six month period and presented at international conferences. I started this project with no knowledge or background in neuroscience. But through this work I have proven that, I am capable of continuing the research in neuroscience.…
