Compare and contrast Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Be sure to comment on the etiology, the disease course, and the symptoms. What can the deficits caused by each disease tell us about the intact functioning of certain areas of the brain?

Propose your own idea for a research design that could be addressed using either positron emission tomography (PET) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Choose one of the techniques, and describe why it is the best (or only) way to address your particular research question.

An excitatory synapse on the soma is more effective in evoking action potentials in the postsynaptic neuron than an excitatory synapse on the tip of a dendrite. Why? Don’t forget to include a discussion of neural integration (summation).

You have a hypothesis that learning is the result of structural (anatomical) changes to a particular part of the brain, but you don’t know whether the change will be in the number of synapses, dendrites, or cells. What technique would you use to test each of these hypotheses?

Examine how marketers approach promotion.

According to the CIA’s World Factbook, approximately 60% of the World’s GDP comes from providing services rather than from the tangible goods produced in agriculture and manufacturing (www.cia.gov).
