Which of the following is True and which of the following is false: 1) Psychoactive drugs rarely provoke a response by the area postrema due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier easily.
2) George weighs 200 lbs and Marcy weighs 120 lbs. Both are sadly opioid addicts. If they both inject the same amount of heroin, they will likely have similar experiences because the amount of blood you have is not related to your weight.
3) Drugs that are addictive always produce tolerance and withdrawal.
4) Symptoms of withdrawal are usually the opposite of the effects of the previously used drug.
5) Although their main effects occur in other neurochemical systems, both MDMA (Ecstasy) and cannabis distort the activity of dopamine, suggesting that these drugs have the potential to be addictive.
6) Opioids produce most of their effects by enhancing the release of a variety of neurochemicals from presynaptic axon terminals.
6) Dr. Baskin is studying the heritability of aggressiveness in…

The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat (tachycardia), a common response to a rapid drop in blood pressure as mediated by baroreceptors in the carotid bulb and aortic arch. There are several inconstant secondary symptoms. A syndrome is simply a constellation of symptoms, not all of which may be present in all cases, and as is the case in POTS, a syndrome may also have a wide variety of underlying causes.
