The Discussions are not simply statements of opinion. They are intended to allow you to expand upon and apply the principles discussed in your textbook, the lectures, and/or other research you conduct. Please pick one of the topics below to discuss. Initial post is required to be at least 250 words, and this MUST be in your own words. You are required to include at least 1 reference in your initial post with proper citations, and this includes BOTH an in-text citation and a full APA reference at the end of the post. Do NOT use Wikipedia, Blurtit, Yahoo Answers or ANY open blog or ANY open source where anyone can post responses and the information is not verified. These are unacceptable academic resources; be sure to use reliable sources of information and research carefully. Also, do NOT copy and paste from the Internet. If you DO quote a phrase, be sure to try and explain the phrase afterward, be sure it is enclosed in quotation marks (“”), and be sure that you show from which reference the quote came. Do not count quoted material or the citation in your 250 word count requirement. Please do not plagiarize. If you quote word for word (verbatim) from a source, you MUST put quotation marks around it, AND you MUST cite the source at the end of your post. It is NOT enough to simply put a source at the end.
Review the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website. Research the Internet about a problem that occurs with the nervous system . Write a description about the disease/disorder you chose. What are some of the symptoms? Is it treatable/curable? If so, how? Is it genetic or caused by something environmental? Why did you choose this particular problem? Does it affect a particular group of individuals more than others? Do you have any personal experience with this problem? It is a requirement to list at least one source from your research in addition to the NIH’s website.
