How would you test the neurotrophic theory, knowing that the most potent neurotrophic factor is NGF? Propose and describe an experimental design. The strategy should include treatments and controls, it should indicate what outcomes you would look for, and what they mean.
Long-distance runners (26.2 miles) describe Runner’s High as a feeling of euphoria. It is often described as a feeling of being invincible and individuals claim a lost sense of time while running. Runner’s high is believed to be caused by very small molecules called endocannabinoids released by the brain that affect the way a person feels, moves, and reacts.
Based on the information above what you know of interacting systems, which of the following two are correct?
A. If the release of endocannabinoid molecules is increased, the runner will not experience the feeling of euphoria and will stop running.
B. The muscular system is not affected by the release of endocannabinoids, which are released by the nervous system.
C. If the function of the nervous system is compromised and endocannabinoids are not released, the function of the muscular system is affected and prolonged endurance will be jeopardized.
D. The release of endocannabinoids at the cellular level plays an indirect…

O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on the cell secreting the signalling molecules. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on adjacent cells. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are released into the circulatory system to bind to receptors located on cells in tissues some distance away. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are peptide hormones.

- Kirsch (2010) argues that in double-blind clinical trials to test the effects of antidepressants, a large fraction of patients figure out whether they have been given the antidepressant or the placebo by noticing the presence or absence of known side effects of the antidepressant. Doctors evaluating the patients are also able to determine which treatment patients are receiving. How might this situation affect the results of the clinical trial? Specifically, is the treatment effect (difference between the means of the antidepressant and placebo treatments) likely to be overestimated, underestimated, or unaffected by this knowledge?arrow_forwardOne of the initial symptoms a person can have for COVID-19 is the lost of taste and smell.
