The document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on brain structure and function. It includes links to online resources and outlines several key topics: - The functions of different brain regions and how research methods like fMRI, lesion studies, and animal experiments have contributed to our understanding. - Distinguishing the autonomic and somatic nervous systems and outlining the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems through a table. - Describing the pupil reflex pathway and using it to determine brain death. - Outlining the pain pathway and explaining the roles of endorphins and morphine in modulating pain. - Summarizing an article on research that used experimental protocols to study pain
