some points of the paper:
Investigate how drugs cross the blood-brain barrier and reach their target sites in the nervous system.
pharmacokinetics in relation to the blood-brain barrier
Choose a few drugs that do cross the blood-brain barrier and focus on them (how they target and other stuff, etc.) for example temozolomide, carmustine, lomustine, etc.
You can also add other stuff in for the paper to be more detailed and engaging.
Word requirement – at least 1000 excluding references.
Citations in APA format.
Try to be
selective in choosing citations, meaning try to go for high-level journals when
citing.
Acceptable sources include scientific
articles, papers, expert opinions, books, textbooks, health organization
statements, and positions. You may look for scientific papers, e.g., on
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, https://scholar.google.com/, https://www.sciencedirect.com/.
Unacceptable sources include YT videos,
non-expert opinions, Wikipedia, etc. If you find a news article
about a new study or scientific breakthrough, do not use the article but find
the study it’s about, and use the study as your source.
Please,
upload your essay/research/review paper in the Assignment section.
Research
upon recent published papers (at least 2 papers). Do your research and then
summarize what you found into five key points:
Introduction;
State of the art; Hypothesis; Critical Evaluation; Conclusion
Main
format:
Table of Contents: using an outline is the
best way to create the T of C, which may be changed later.
Introduction: Introduce the topic and the
subtopic asking the questions you have, that the papers you took in
consideration did not answer yet.
Body of the paper: use at least 2 sources
that support the main ideas of your thesis thread, or line of argument that
developed out of investigating potential answers to your research question.
Critical Evaluation: revise critically the
hypotheses/studies described before with the aim of finding some pieces of the
former question not be answered.
Conclusion: This ideally would include at
least one suggestion for future research in this area, which can be stated in
one or two sentences (or more if you want). A conclusion is not only that “more
research should be done in this field/matter”!
Reference list or Bibliography: The lists of
sources you specifically referred/cited. APA format for references is
requested.
Further
suggestions:
Maintain a focused thesis thread/argument
throughout. Be clear, both in discussing each of your points as well as in the
overall structure (e.g., use headings and signposts to help the reader know
where you are going with the ideas). Clearly define all terms, even if you
assume the reader will know them. When using acronyms, state first the full
name, and then in brackets the acronym, that you will use furtherly.
Avoid using too many direct quotations. Yet
even when you paraphrase the concepts and the research, you must still cite the
source.
