What are the two basic mechanisms - Measure the binding of a ligand (radioactively
for studying receptors? traced)
- Measure the physiologic consequences of
agonist binding (and effects of the antagonist)
How do didactic depictions of - There are hundreds to thousands of axons
neurotransmitter signaling differ from connecting to one dendrite
real life? - A single transmitter can evoke multiple pathways

are... of each other
Pharmacokinetic concepts describe - the time course of drug concentration in different
and predict... parts of the body
- onset, duration, absorption, distribution,
metabolism, excretion
Remission - Preferred outcome of treatment
- Absolute score of 7 or less on the HAMD
(Hamilton depression) scale
- <10 on the MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg
Depression Rating Scale)
Responders are patients who... improve but do not experience full resolution of

reactions?
Which benzodiazepine produces Alprazolam (Xanax)
more intense withdrawal symptoms

Which SSRI produces more intense Paroxetine (Paxil)
withdrawal symptoms that it's
counterparts?
Medications with this Long elimination half life
pharmacokinetic property have - Fluoxetine (Prozac, SSRI) has a long elimination
delayed discontinuation symptoms. half life of its active metabolite
