Prepare a research paper on a neurobiology topic. In order to prepare a good final paper you will need to present your thesis statement as part of the introduction (the first few paragraphs of the paper). In the ′body′ of the paper you will provide background information necessary for the reader to understand the topic and the data supporting your thesis; also, you will rebut any data that contradicts your thesis. Finally, you will conclude the paper by summarizing its main points. For this course your final thesis should be relatively narrow as you must keep your paper to between 2,500 and 3,750 words (at an average of 250 words per page, this is between 10 and 15 pages. Please note, this word count is text, and it does not include figure legends, the bibliography, title page, etc.). As part of your final project, you must use a minimum of 10 reliable sources of different types: books, academic journal articles, reputable internet sources, etc. Wikipedia, for example, is NOT to be used as a resource.
