1. Summarize three peer-reviewed research articles on your topic. Each summary should examine some aspect of the biological basis (brain region, neurons, neurotransmitters) of the disease/disorder. In each summary, include the sample studied, a description of the methods used in the study, a summary of the results. For each summary, include a mini-conclusion stating the significance of the research (how it enhances understanding, it's importance, any unanswered questions, or other ideas).
