Overview of assignment
Neuroscience is a field that is constantly changing – every year researchers and medical experts discover new findings about neurological disease that helps discover how
diseases occur and what can be done to help patients. In this assignment you will select a neurological disorder from the list provided, research about the disorder (using
authoritative sources), and write a structured essay.
Task
1. Choose the disorder that you will discuss for your essay from the list provided.
The topics options for the assignment are listed below. Once you have decided which topic you wish to pursue please join the group in People on Canvas for that
topic. Once you open the 'Groups' section you will see a number of groups, one for each topic. To select a topic, simple assign yourself to that group. Please note
that there are a limited number of students who can select each topic - once a 'Group' is full, no other students can select that topic. Any students who have not
selected a topic on Canvas by Friday of Week 5 will be allocated a topic by the course coordinator. All allocations will be final. While you can discuss the topic
with other people in your group, this is an individual assignment and will be assessed accordingly.
