QUESTIONS GUARANTEED PASS
◉ An example of volume neurotransmission is:
Answer: Dopamine in the prefrontal cortex
◉ The direct role of transcription factors is to:
Answer: Influence gene expression
◉ The term epigenetics refers to:
Answer: A process determining whether a given gene is expressed
or silenced
◉ Presynaptic reuptake transporters are a major method of
inactivation for which of the following?
Answer: Serotonin and GABA
◉ What is constitutive activity?
Answer: Signal transduction when no agonist or inverse agonist is
bound to the receptor.
,◉ A partial agonist has what effect on neurotransmission?
Answer: Net agonism when neurotransmission is deficient.
Net antagonism when neurotransmission is excessive.
Both of the above answers are correct
◉ Agonists cause ligand-gated ion channels to:
Answer: Open more frequently
◉ Which of the following is true?
Answer: Both positive and negative allosteric modulations are
possible only in the presence of a neurotransmitter
◉ When voltage-sensitive sodium channels are open and activated,
the flow of sodium is:
Answer: Into the neuron
◉ Which of the following are involved in regulating
neurotransmission via excitation-secretion coupling?
Answer: Both of these which are voltage-sensitive sodium channels
and voltage-sensitive calcium channels.
◉ A 21-year-old man who has just been diagnosed with
schizophrenia presents with his parents. He speaks with a reserved
, and simple language processing style; he is able to understand and
relate to simple questions but seems to get lost when the pace of the
conversation between the clinician and parents accelerates. when
reviewing the patient's history, what pattern of cognitive functioning
prior to psychosis onset would you be most likely to find?
Answer: Impaired cognitive functioning premorbidly with further
decline during the prodromal phase.
◉ Dopamine (DA) receptors can be categorized as D1 like (D1 and
D5 receptors) and D2 like (D2, D3, and D4 receptors). What
differentiates the two groups of receptors?
Answer: D1-like receptors are excitatory and D2-like receptors are
inhibitory.
◉ Symptoms of schizophrenia are hypothetically attributable to
malfucntioning in the:
Answer: Mesocortical and mesolimbic pathways
◉ For which set of disorders is psychosis considered an associated
feature rather than a defining feature for diagnosis?
Answer: Bipolar mania, Parkinson's disease.
◉ The activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
requires the presence of:
Answer: Glutamate and glycine.
