- What is the most likely mechanism producing tolerance to cocaine and then the dysphoria that is associated with cocaine withdrawal? A. Dynorphin neurons cause presynaptic inhibition to decrease dopamine release into the nucleus accumbens B. Cocaine runs the dopamine transporter backwards to cause tolerance and withdrawal C. cocaine binds to opiate receptors in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) D. Dynorphin neurons stimulate dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and increase dopamine release into the nucleus accumbensarrow_forwardWhat is the underlying pathogenesis for the development of epileptic seizures? a. Overstimulated neurons propagate action potentials all at once. b. Decreased number neurons are properly stimulated. c. The neuronal NMDA receptors are overstimulated by GABA. d. Under stimulated neurons fail to depolarize.arrow_forwardEpilepsy Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that disrupts neural activities and causes recurrent seizures. About 70% of people with epilepsy can be treated with medication to prevent seizures from occurring. If medication does not work, surgery is an option for some patients. One of the procedures involves cutting the brain so that the seizures cannot be spread to other parts of the brain. An individual was suffering from violent headaches and blurred vision for several years. A doctor determined that this individual had a tumour on the anterior pituitary. Explain why this person was experiencing blurred vision.arrow_forward
