The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, and the brain is made up of many different anatomical parts that each have a specific role and function in biology and behavior. To explore this system more in-depth, you will identify the function of the different areas of the brain, including neurons and neurotransmitters.
Imagine you are working for a neurological research center, and the staff needs additional reading material for their waiting room. You’ve been asked to create a pamphlet to explain the function of the different parts of the central nervous system.
Create a 700- to 1,050-word pamphlet with pictures and graphics in which you:
Describe the function of the different parts of the brain, including:
The 4 lobes of the cerebral cortex
The different pieces of the limbic system
The areas within the midbrain and hindbrain
Outline the anatomy and function of a neuron.
Explain the role and function of at least 3 neurotransmitters.
Describe an experiential example of how the different areas of the central nervous system function together.
Include pictures and graphics to enhance your pamphlet.
Cite 2 to 3 peer-reviewed sources.
Format citations in your pamphlet according to APA guidelines.
