Drug Use and Neurotransmitters – “This is Your Brain on Drugs

/in /by

Recreational drugs are prevalent in the college scene.  The chapter on biological foundations of behavior discusses the importance of the neurotransmitters that carry neural messages.  These drugs can enhance the effects of some neurotransmitters, by increasing the production of, or blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters. Alternately some drugs depress or reduce the effects of neurotransmitters by blocking the receptors or decreasing their production.  The title of this assignment is from a commercial about drug use and brain effects from the 80s.  I have included it below.  Please watch it prior to doing the assignment.video links:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FtNm9CgA6Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qS83wD29PYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09eVouoCLawNow that you know more about neurons and neurotransmitters, I would like you to consider how drugs affect our brains and functioning.Use one of the search engines (preferably psych articles) on our school library web site (http://www.pasadena.edu/library/) to get information about how recreational drugs affect the brain.  Look up a drug that may have been used by your peers or family members at some point. Make sure that you use sources that are peer reviewed.  These are professional writers, writing for professional readers in scholarly journals like Journal of Abnormal Psychology.  Note that magazines like Psychology Today are NOT scholarly and peer reviewed.  While you might read (and reference) an article from there, they do not count toward your scholarly source requirement.Your research paper should be at least three full pages, double spaced and should respond to all of the issues below. The text of the document only is included in the three full pages, the reference page will be the 4th page, and you should use at least 2 peer reviewed sources.  The paper may be longer, it may not be shorter.  Citations and references should be in APA style.Discuss your findings about how the drug interacts with the neurotransmitters in the brain.  Please make sure that you include citations  for the sources.  Please make sure that you write your paper in your own words.How does the drug you studied affect memory? Discuss both the long term and short term memory effects.What happens when you stop taking the drug? What are the short term and long term effects of taking this drug.Does it have addictive properties?  If so, how do the addictive properties evidence themselves.Finally conduct an in depth critical analysis of the personality and functionality impact of the drug use on those who you know that have been affected by the drug, or on what you had heard about the drug in the past.Turnitin score no higher than 10%

Beyond Informed ConsentPrior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Fisher (2009) article, “Replacing ‘Who is the Client?’ With a Different Ethical Question” and the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. paying special attention to standard 3.11.Informed consent is an important ethical component of research and practice. It is not, however, always sufficient or appropriate for consulting, program evaluation, job effectiveness assessment, or other psychological services delivered to or through organizations because it does not always address all the necessary elements of a given situation. These facts do not negate our responsibility as psychology professionals to inform clients and those who may be impacted by our services. In the discussion you will address these issues through the following case study.You are an industrial organizational (I/O) psychologist and have been hired to evaluate a company’s “Work From Home” policy to see if it has increased company production. In addition to a review of the employee records, the evaluation needs to include interviews with supervisors and employees on the value and limits of the policy. Since informed consent as typically considered in clinical, counseling, and research settings will not be sufficient in this instance, you will need to inform all supervisors and employees about your services.In your initial post, briefly analyze and define who the client is in this case study. Assess your professional role as the I/O psychologist and your responsibility to the client as defined. Apply the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to this scenario, specifically addressing what information should be provided to all supervisors and employees. Explain how you would disseminate this information and ensure understanding amongst all stakeholders. Elaborate on how you would establish trust with the employees, protect employee identities, and ensure the results are used in an ethical manner.
