NPiP Session 1-On your own

On your own

• The Future of Psychiatry = Clinical Neuroscience

This is a brief blog post written in 2012 by then Director of the NIMH, Tom Insel.

• The Future of Psychiatry as Clinical Neuroscience: Why Not Now?

This is a JAMA Viewpoint written in 2014 that captured the founding mission of the National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative.

• Ten to the Fifteenth, The Official Podcast of the National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative: Episode 1: What’s in a name? 

This is a 23-minute episode that offers our spin on the current state of the field. 

• Functional Neuroanatomy Through a Clinical Case

• Find it, Draw it, Know it: Fear Circuitry

1. Watch the attic panic video
2. Using this handout (print or doodle on it in paint/preview/ppt/etc.) draw the circuit involved in generating the main character’s (or your own!) fear response. Include pathways for how the signal gets IN, how the brain processes CONTEXT for this signal, and how the brain generates a FEAR OUTPUT.
3. Watch the NNCI video
4. Draw the circuit again on the handout. 

• Dopamine Pathways

Grab some markers and get ready to draw! Drawing can be done on the handout brain grid or blank paper, rather than transparency sheets recommended in the module.

• 3-D Brain exercise
