For this assignment, you will create a “Mind-Map” or “Stream of Thought” of the following six neurotransmitters with the brain as the center of control.

1. 1. Dopamine
2. 2. GABA
3. 3. Glutamate
4. 4. Serotonin
5. 5. Norepinephrine/Epinephrine
6. 6. Histamine

You will link the neurotransmitters to the main properties/characteristics, link to the anatomical location where the neurotransmitter is found, and any associated receptors, as well as psychiatric diagnoses that could occur with a deficit or surplus of the neurotransmitter. Additionally, list symptoms under the deficits and surplus. Lastly, link what medications/drug classes can increase and decrease the effects of the neurotransmitters.

Sign up for a free account and use Bubbl.us or use a Word template from Template Lab to create your Mind Map.

As an additional note, all components must be included for full points in the content area of the rubric for each neurotransmitter: (see Checklist):

• Name of neurotransmitter
• Main properties and characteristics of neurotransmitter
• Anatomical location (s)
• Associated receptors
• Psychiatric diagnosis with deficit
• Psychiatric diagnosis with surplus
• Medications/drug class that increase neurotransmitter
• Medications/drug class that decrease neurotransmitter

You can complete this as one large mind map or a separate mind map, one for each neurotransmitter. Be creative, as there are several ways to create them. You will also review the Mind Map Checklist (PDF) and include your references. A minimum of one reference for each neurotransmitter is required.

Rubric

In addition to meeting the expectations, clear examples supported by the course content and references articulate the relationship to the focus of the assignment along with the implications to the role of an APRN and the profession of nursing. Cites three or more references, using at least one new scholarly resource that was not provided in the course materials.

Beyond meeting the expectations, the student offers a clear analysis and synthesis of content with the application of knowledge through robust use of scholarly citations with critical analysis of the content and the relationship to the profession of nursing. The knowledge gained from this assignment is synthesized to indicate a plausible path for utilization within practice as an APRN.

Content is presented in a visually appealing manner and within the assigned length. Voiceover (if applicable) provides a verbal narrative that has clear intonation, appropriate pace of speech, and interesting inflection and animation that easily grabs the viewers’ attention.
