Mind Over Matter? Exploring Neuroplasticity

Instructions

Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, includes both synaptic plasticity and non-synaptic plasticity—changes in neural pathways that are believed to result from changes in behavior, environment, neural processes, thinking, and emotions. It is said that “neurons that fire together, wire together.”

To begin, watch this short video.

Part A: Existing Knowledge

After watching this video, address the first question based on your thoughts and supported by research. Include with your post the research references in APA style format. Post your reply by Tuesday. After posting, begin your textbook reading to complete Parts B & C.

Question #1: How much, and in what way, do you think the power of the mind can influence a person’s health? Your response must be at least 5 sentences in length.

 Part B: Applying What You Learned

For the second part of the discussion, you will apply what you have learned from the course textbook reading assignment in this module. By Thursday, create and post two separate well-crafted and well-researched questions for your classmates to answer. Each question must include at least 5 sentences of background information before your classmate questions are asked. You must start each question post with the heading “CLASSMATE QUESTION.”

Part C: Research and Respond

For the last part of the discussion, you will research and respond to two of your classmates' questions. Each response must include at least 5 sentences of well-researched information from a resource other than the course textbook.

Please make sure to include the original question within your response. This will ensure that you are given proper credit for all posts. Classmate response posts are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM.
