Is addiction to certain drugs something that is genetically inherited? Explain

Cellular disarray in the nerve cells of a person with schizophrenia means that the nerve cells appear: Question 5 options: a)  Smaller b)  Larger c)  Organized d)  Disorganized

Control wells in the dopamine assay normally look like this: dopamine HVA Legend: = high (dopamine] = low (or no) (dopamine] neural cells If the researchers accidentally added neural cells to all of the wells, what would the control wells look like?

Give a schematic diagram of how we can nonpharmacologically manage the Zollinger Ellison Syndrome? Please draw at your own hands.

One of the initial symptoms a person can have for COVID-19 is the lost of taste and smell.  Give a potential mechanism, including which portion of the reflex  arc is being impacted, of how COVID is able to have this impact.  Use an online source to support your argument.

The drug Celebrex selectively inhibits PTGS2 while aspirin and other NSAID’s inhibit both PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the same way. Why do you think researchers wanted to discover a selective inhibitor to PTGS2?

What is ARD? Discuss the mechanism of ARD and its importance.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a reasonable option for intractable depression or schizophrenia, but a mechanism of action has not been established. One credible hypothesis is related to neural plasticity. Below is the neuronal gene expression assay for four genes after ECT, normalized with the Hamilton depression rating scale of 21 items version (HAM-D-21). Which of the following conclusion you may NOT conclude from the data? ECT may convert adult neurons into IPSCs which may divide and differentiate into healthy adult neurons Neural plasticity steadily increases with the number of ECT administration ECT seems to increase the expression of Yamanaka’s four transcription factors ECT may increase neural plasticity

It is possible to treat addiction by prescribing drugs that block the effects of the psychoactive substance. For example, naloxone blocks opiate receptors, reducing the pleasurable effects of opioids and alcohol. These types of treatments are called:   A) agonist treatments.   B) aversive treatments.   C) antidrug vaccines.   D) antagonist treatments.
