Excellent and such value for money

Empty reply does not make any sense for the end user

Really good content and engaging activities for students. Could have done with all the distinction criteria being included too

Neurological Disorders: Unit 5

How do our choices change our brains.

This key culminating unit brings together all the understanding the students have acquired with an in-depth investigation of how their choices affect their brains, as well as how their brains affect their choices. The students begin by drawing upon their understanding of how neurons collaborate to form a circuit by investigating the reward pathway. They experience a virtual hands-on laboratory to investigate how certain drugs of abuse can hijack this pathway and stimulate the drive to repeat destructive behaviors. Students grapple with the question of substance abuse as a chronic neurological disorder and explore public policy issues to address the questions of how to deal with substance abuse.

What circuits do drugs affect in our brains?

This lesson is intended to introduce students to the concept of addiction, and the neural reward pathway. The lesson uses experimental data from a rat self-administration experiment to illustrate the idea that certain stimuli are rewarding and thus reinforcing because they activate the neural reward pathway.

How do drugs alter synaptic transmission?

This lesson emphasizes that all drugs of abuse alter synaptic signaling in the reward pathway. Students will begin the lesson by brainstorming ways in which drugs could alter synaptic signaling. The lesson continues with a jigsaw activity in which students read about the mechanisms through which different drugs of abuse alter synaptic signaling and concludes with a teach-back in which students present their drug of abuse to the class.

Should animals be used in scientific research?

This lesson is intended to prepare students for the virtual cocaine lab that they will be conducting in the next lesson. Since the virtual cocaine lab is based on experiments utilizing animals, this lesson focuses on the issue of using animals in scientific research. The students will explore the issue through a Structured Academic Controversy (SAC) in which student groups learn about/research different perspectives of the issue and then represent that perspective in a class-wide discussion.

How is dopamine involved in addictive behaviors?

This lesson is intended to give students a glimpse into research science labs. In this lesson, the students will complete a virtual lab in which they conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis that dopamine levels rise during the seeking phase of addictive behavior. This virtual lab will expose students to many of the components of research science, including stating a hypothesis, conducting an experiment, collecting data and then reviewing data to publish the results.

When does drug abuse become addiction?

This lesson is intended to get the students thinking about the bigger picture of drug abuse and addiction. The lesson starts with a discussion of the many reasons why people might start using drugs. Through the use of a card game, the social, psychological, genetic and biological risk/protective factors for drug addiction are explored. The lesson concludes with a case study which demonstrates the importance of motivation for taking drugs in the development of addiction.

What are the long-term effects of drug abuse and addiction?

This lesson is intended to describe how drug abuse changes neuronal structure and function. The lesson begins by asking students to compare the structure of two neurons, one of which has been repeatedly exposed to methamphetamine. The students are asked to figure out why the two neurons might be different. The neurons are different because drug abuse alters protein expression which in turn alters neuronal structure and function.

Is addiction a chronic disease?

This lesson is intended to emphasize that addiction is a chronic disease that can be treated effectively, similar to other chronic diseases. The lesson begins with an activity in which students are asked to define disease, as well as categorize a list of diseases as either acute or chronic. After discussing this activity, the lesson continues with a jigsaw activity in which students read case studies of patients with different chronic diseases. This activity is designed to get the students to compare and contrast how the diseases including addiction, heart disease, and diabetes are similar and different.
