Imagine that a new type of psychoactive drug has been developed in a laboratory. It works by slowing the reuptake of dopamine in some brain circuits, increasing the amount of dopamine in the synapse. It also blocks serotonin binding in other brain circuits. Based on only this information, you can conclude that this new psychoactive drug is a: dopamine and serotonin antagonist. dopamine antagonist and serotonin agonist. dopamine and serotonin agonist. dopamine agonist and serotonin antagonist.

Typical antipsychotic drugs exert their therapeutic effects on the positive symptoms of schizophrenia by which of the following mechanisms? Question 49 options: a) Blocking the reuptake of dopamine, increasing the amount of dopamine in the synapse b) Stimulating dopamine D1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex c) Binding to dopamine D2 receptors and inhibiting dopamine signalling d) Decreasing the production of dopamine in the basal ganglia
Alcohol addiction is a condition in which a person experiencesdependent on alcohol and difficult to control its consumption. On the other hand, excessive alcohol consumption in the long term can cause disturbances in brain performance, including disturbances in memory, attention, coordination, and locomotion. How does alcohol affect the functioning of nerve cells and the central nervous system? What is the mechanism that occurs? Based on information from the literature, analyze what will happen to coordination and locomotion in someone who is addicted to alcohol and consumes large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are sometimes used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. What is their mechanism of action? a. They inhibit the breakdown of dopamine. b. They inhibit the reuptake of dopamine by glia. c. They inhibit the reuptake of dopamine by neurons. d. They inhibit the synthesis of norepinephrine from dopamine. e. They inhibit the synthesis of dopamine.
Which of the following is NOT a functional or structural change that occurs in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system as a result of exposure to addictive drugs? A) Decreased baseline levels of dopamine activity, causing a decreased response to normal rewarding stimuli. B) Neural plasticity in response to drugs and drug-related stimuli decreases. C) Potentiation of synapses between glumate-releasing neurons and dopamine-releasing neurons in the VTA. D) Increased dendrite length and greater synaptic complexity in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal lobes.
Haloperidol is a drug that interferes with the transmission of dopamine among neurons. What effect would it probably have on someone who is suffering from Parkinson's disease?
