- Researchers have discovered several neurological issues in the brains of patients with affective (mood) disorders. Which of the following neurological anomalies is found in bipolar patients during a manic episode, but NOT in patients experiencing depression? A) Reduced brain tissue in prefrontal areas and hippocampus. B) Increased metabolic activity in part of the prefrontal cortex. C) Enlargement of the amygdala and hypothalamus, leading to greater stress responses and higher cortisol levels. D) Reductions in overall brain activity, and especially in prefrontal regions and other circuits that regulate emotions.arrow_forwardWhich 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…arrow_forwardErtha has Dementia which is a neurologic disorder that affects ones memory, thinking, and behavior. It can even affect fine motor skills causing loss of balance or ones ability to perform ADL’s. Ertha is no longer in her familiar home which is adding to her anxiety and could be making her dementia worse. She may forget to take medication or take it more than once due to poor memory. Key nursing considerations would be to have a CNA help assist with ADL’s and report back to Nurse if Ertha isn’t willing to comply with help. Ertha should be given help but as long as she is capable, she should perform all ADL’s unassisted. Ertha should have a schedule laid out and easily followed so she can focus. All tasks need to be made very simple and easy to follow to avoid the patient from getting confused and agitated. Ertha should have a medication box clearly marked so she can read it. Meals need to be monitored because as the dementia progresses, she may forget to eat. (Videbeck, 2020) Risk…arrow_forward

Both are MORE likely to occur in adolescent boys than in adolescent girls.
