3. Preparing your assessment

You should read the scientific paper that you have been assigned in detail (and possibly any

papers that may have cited this work subsequently). Your scientific article should address

the following aspects of the physiological discovery (ie the mechanisms of the

phenomenon/system):

• Describe the key features of the phenomenon/system and the rationale for the study

• Explain how these findings fit into the wider picture, including how the latest findings

may help us to prevent/alleviate or treat pathophysiological conditions associated with this

system
