Instructions: Create a 2-3 page OUTLINE (this means using 1. a) i. outline forma

Instructions: Create a 2-3 page OUTLINE (this means using 1. a) i. outline formatting) with at least 3 major topics, 3-6 subheadings per major topic and then a future directions section (I will attach an example below for you). You must use at least 15 primary research articles (that are peer-reviewed) and leave references within subheadings (like in the example shown). This is for a Neurobiology of sensation/perception class for context in writing this paper. Here is my paper topic:
“I would like to focus my paper on the topic of olfaction and perfumes. Hormones and pheromones are known to be involved as a method of attraction in animals, using odor as a means of recognition and mating within species. It has also been known how odor can be responsible for emotional reactions, hunger, attraction, comfort, etc. within mammals, alluding to the fact that the sensory pathways for olfaction may be very complex. I would like to investigate the sensory pathways (from receptors to higher-order brain regions) involved in the detection of perfumes in comparison to pheromones or hormones. I think that it could also be fun to look at these side-by-side with a comparative behavioral study of mice with differing olfactory stimuli. Additionally, it could be interesting to focus more into the emotional component of olfactory responses, investigating corresponding brain regions’ activity in a comparison with other olfactory stimuli or even other stimuli (mating, aggression, maternal care, etc.).”
For extra help, I think that it would be worthwhile to at least investigate the AOB (Accessory Olfactory Bulb) and how it may be receiving more than one type of sensory neuron input (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286740080731X). This would be in addition to the other topics that you may select.
Grading Rubric:
(1) A working title, 5 points
(2) Major topic areas to be covered, 5 points
(3) Subheadings under each major topic, 10 points
(4) The references pertaining to each subheading within the outline itself, 5 points
(5) A bibliography including at least 15 primary research articles, 15 points
