“Exploring the Brain: How Messages are Transmitted” Introduction: Hello! Today, we are going to explore the amazing world of the brain and learn how messages are transmitted. Our brain is like a big computer that controls everything we do, from
Develop a teaching aid that helps explain to a 10-year-old child how messages are transmitted in the brain.
Biopsychology is the study of how the human brain and body work, specifically: How do the cells in our brain lead to our thoughts and actions? That’s the essence of the mind-body problem—what role does biology play?
There’s an old saying that the best way to learn is to teach someone else. For this assessment, you are asked to develop a teaching aid that helps explain to a 10-year-old child how messages are transmitted in the brain. The objective of this assessment is to help you understand the basic actions of the brain by explaining it to the hypothetical 10-year-old child (feel free to test out your fine work on a child you know).
Select one brain structure from the list below to focus on in your teaching aid:
Broca’s area.
Wernicke’s area.
Thalamus.
Hypothalamus.
Pons.
Reticular formation.
Cerebellum.
Combine text and visual images to explain to a 10-year-old child the way the brain communicates. You can use MS PowerPoint. Be sure to cite your sources (including any visuals you don’t create).
The final product should answer the following questions:
Explain how neurons communicate. How do neurons work? How do they talk to each other? What happens to leftover transmitters?
Consider including the following:
Resting potential, graded potential, action potential.
Neurotransmission release.
Excitatory postsynaptic potential or inhibitory neuron potential.
Explain the functions of the area of the brain you chose from the list above.
Helpful tip: Start by reviewing the textbook and creating bullet points for each step. Then reword your bullet points in different ways until you find one that is clear, simple, and easy to understand. You might consider using metaphors if it helps. Lastly, create or find visuals that will help make the explanation easier to understand.
Written communication: Written communication is in professional style with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Resources: Use a minimum of one scholarly source.
APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to APA style and formatting.
Use Academic Writer for guidance in citing sources in proper APA style. See the Writing Center for more APA resources specific to your degree level.
Length: 1–4 pages or slides.
Font and font size: No smaller than 10-point font.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Relate the actions of the mind and body to psychological and physical health.
Explain how neurons communicate.
Explain the functions of a region of the brain.
Competency 5: Write for purpose in a well organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.
Incorporate visuals that support the overall message.
Use APA style formatting for citations and reference list with only minor errors.
Address assessment purpose in a well-organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences that a 10-year-old could understand. -

Title: Exploring Parenting Styles and Their Impact on Children’s Health and Well-being: A Cross-cultural Study
The Interview
Select your subjects (the people you will interview). You may choose yourself as one of the people to interview. Next, decide what approach you will use. The approach is simply the difference between the subjects. One example of an approach is to use an historical approach by choosing two subjects who have a large difference in age. In this case, you might want to interview yourself and your mother or father about child rearing practices then and now. Another approach you might want to consider is a cross-cultural approach. For example, you could interview someone who gave birth in the United States and someone who gave birth in another country. You may choose any approach of interest to you.
Before you interview the subjects, make a prediction regarding how you think they will respond in the interview. This prediction is your hypothesis. For example, in an interview on the topic of parenting styles, a student may predict that one subject (interviewee) uses the authoritative approach and the other subject (interviewee) uses the permissive approach. The hypothesis is based upon your research about the topic and how it might apply to people you interview. At the end of the interviews, you may discover that you were totally wrong, but that’s okay because all research is what we call “trial and error learning.” We learn even from our mistaken ideas.
Interview Questions
Select at least 6 interview questions, making them as unbiased as possible. Use the same six interview questions for both interviews. Make your questions open-ended so that you get more than “yes” or “no” answers. Explain to the subjects that all information given is confidential.
Write your questions out and record the session by taking thorough notes. If the subjects’ answers are too brief, try saying, “Tell me more about ……” Remember, you are interested in your subject’s life and ideas. Do not involve yourself in a conversation, offer advice, make judgments, or talk about your own experiences during the interview, except as a way of encouraging your subject to talk about the subject matter.
Your interview questions need to be designed to help you to find out if your hypothesis was accurate (or not). For example, imagine that you interviewed a person who struggled with obesity as a child and another person who had anorexia as an adolescent. Let’s say that you predicted (hypothesized) that depression and parents who try to control children’s intake of food were related variables. Then, you might ask the following questions to discover how accurate you were with your hypothesis. (You may use a similar format).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having parents or a parent who are interested in promoting their children’s healthy weight/lifestyle?
If you had the opportunity to promote healthy weight/lifestyle for children how would you market that idea?
What kinds of physical activities would you like to see children take part in growing up?
Is there a particular nutritional philosophy that you are aligned with or support? (vegan, vegetarian, paleo, etc.)
Do you believe that eating disorders and obesity are preventable? Please explain.
Do you think that there is a link between eating disorders and depression? Between obesity and depression? -

1. Organisation’s overview and operations management challenges
Provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the organisation, and define the scope of your analysis. Whether it is the organisation’s entire operations, a particular region, local market or a specific business unit.
Conduct a critical analysis of business challenges using established operations management frameworks.
Your response should include key and relevant company data – suitably presented and tailored to the scope of analysis. In addition, your work should include a thorough examination of the most pressing operation management challenges the organisation is now facing, which may impede the achievement of the planned strategic goals. Challenges must be clearly identified. You should use established operation management frameworks to structure your answer, such as: the 4Vs (Volume, Variety, Variation, Visibility); OM Performance Objectives (Q, C, S D, F); the 7 Wastes of Lean Management (over processing, over production, inventory, defects, motion, transport, waiting time); and/or any other frameworks you consider relevant. An excellent response will go beyond qualitative descriptions and provide a thorough critical analysis. This needs to be supported with specific KPIs and other quantitative data, which shows actual organisational performance against planned targets. You should use suitable data visualisation tools and methods, such as: tables, charts, diagrams, and/or graphs, amongst others.
2. Supply chain analysis
Using a specific flagship product or service provided by your organisation, conduct a critical analysis into the organisation’s supply network, where you identify key players – and their respective roles – across the company’s procurement chain.
You should create a supply chain diagram and assess the current level of vertical integration by analysing which stage(s) across the supply network does the company control. Conclude your analysis with concise supply network improvement recommendations, based on best-practice competitive benchmarking, as well as leveraging technological developments and innovations.
3. Risk Analysis
Create an operations management risk register, identifying key risks.
The register will use an appropriate template and be formatted so that risks are suitably ranked and rated.
4. Improvement recommendations
Based on the analysis conducted so far, provide a set of clearly enumerated, concrete and viable business operations management recommendations for continuous quality improvement.
Your answer answer should consolidate all your research findings and analysis into a set of clearly articulated, concise, realistic and feasible recommendations, which will enhance the organisation’s strategic capabilities in an operations quality context. You should enumerate your suggestions, in order to prioritise them.
You are encouraged to use continuous quality improvement frameworks to structure your answer – such as the PDSA cycle, or other relevant ones – and you should offer managerial guidance in terms of duties, responsibilities, implementation timings and key performance indicators to be used, as well as their measurement and control methods.
5. Business and Academic References
Your work should be supported by a comprehensive set of relevant and recent qualitative descriptions and quantitative data, backed by citations and –where possible – business and academic references from a variety of sources, industry publications, academic journals, textbooks and reliable media articles.
You are strongly encouraged to make adequate usage of headings, sub headings, figures, charts, images, diagrams, graphs and other professional data visualisation tools to optimise your report’s contents and word count. Cover sheet, table of contents, headings, charts, graphs, tables, images and references are excluded from the word count.
All references should be presented in accordance to APA v7 referencing standards. -
