While taking risperidone, a 34-year-old man started having breast secretions recently. This side
effect is linked to which dopamine pathway? ANS-tuberoinfundibular pathway An atypical
antipsychotic is started on a 44-year-old woman with schizophrenia. Regarding affinity, atypical
antipsychotics demonstrate which of the following most often? - ANS-Atypical antipsychotics
have equal positive symptom antipsychotic actions and low extrapyramidal symptoms.
The ANS, or basal ganglia, are a group of structures involved in voluntary motor movements. A
group of structures involved in voluntary motor movements, cognition, and emotion. Tourette
syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are examples of
movement disorders. a collection of structures that are involved in voluntary motor movements,
cognition, and emotion. Movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, OCD, and Tourette
syndrome are examples of movement disorders. The nucleus accumbens, caudate, and
putamen make up the striatum group of structures. The putamen and caudate nucleus are
located in the dorsal striatum. The ventral striatum contains the nucleus accumbens. Both are
involved in facilitating voluntary movement. - ANS-Basal Ganglia
Which of the following is suggested as a major current hypothesis for the cause of
schizophrenia—NMDA receptors? Yes, ANS is hypofunctional. I also play a role in the human
body in a variety of ways as a monoamine neurotransmitter. Do you recall learning the terms
"fight," "flight," or "fright"? That's me, exaggerated. A little of me can get you up off the couch
and have you alert, oriented, and ready to take on life's challenges. The reason you see me
with a cup of coffee is because I really can help with focus and productivity. the excitatory
neurotransmitter and amino acid Because I can affect nearly every neuron in the brain, I've
been called the brain's "workhorse." I am a real firecracker. I'll be hard at work affecting energy,
memory, learning, and neural plasticity all over the brain. Additionally, I work to regulate spinal
and motor reflexes and transmit sensory information. - ANS-glutamate amino acid that acts as
the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter, and decrease neuroexcitability across the brain.
ANS-Gaba: This neurotransmitter aids in sleep, relaxation, and stress reduction. and involved in
speech, auditory signals, smell recognition, and short-term memory. Object identification is the
process of determining "what" things are. The limbic system, amygdala, and hippocampus are
all found here. - ANS-Temporal Lobe are linked to movement, intelligence, abstract thought,
organization, personality, behavior, and emotional control. Traumatic brain injuries can result in
personality changes, difficulty controlling emotions, and other cognitive functions - ANS-Frontal

are linked to intelligence, abstract thinking, movement, personality, behavior, and emotional
control, as well as the capacity for organization. - ANS-Frontal Lobes Traumatic brain injuries
can alter one's personality and make it difficult to control one's emotions and other cognitive
functions. are chemicals released by neurons to send communication across synaptic clefts to
other neurons. Because it can affect human emotion and behavior, an excess, deficiency, or
imbalance of this can lead to many psychiatric disorders and client symptoms. -
ANS-Neurotransmitters are approved by the FDA for the short-term treatment of anxiety and
, can be used alone or in conjunction with antidepressants. They increase norepinephrine
metabolism in the brain by binding to serotonin and dopamine receptors in the brain. are used
for the treatment of all anxiety disorders. They act by preventing the reuptake of 5-HT by
synapses in the brain. - ANS-SSRI
Are used to treat all anxiety disorders except obsessive compulsive disorder. Synapses in the
brain are prevented from reuptaking 5-HT and NE, which is how SNRIs work. Compared with
venlafaxine and desvenlafaxine, which have SRI activity and dose-related affinity for
norepinephrine reuptake inhibition (NRI) primarily, duloxetine has more balanced SRI and NRI
activities. Levomilnacipran has higher activity at NRI than SRI. - ANS-SNRI
Associated with movement, intelligence, abstract thinking. etc. - ANS-Frontal lobe
Speech-related - the ANS-Brocas region bind to D2 receptors more effectively than 5HT-2A.
They may cause EPS, but the risk of metabolic side effects and weight gain is low. The rip binds
equally to both D2 and 5HT-2A receptors. The medications has low risk for metabolic disorders.
- ANS-2 Pips and a Rip
bind more potently to the 5HT 2A receptor than the D2. Sedation is common and relates to a
high affinity for histamine. - ANS-The "Pines" - These medications have the lowest risk of EPS
but a high risk of weight gain and metabolic abnormalities. Contains nerve fibers that connect
neurons from different regions into functional circuits - ANS-white matter

controls visual processing. When this lobe is damaged, people can't remember what they see.
Despite normal vision, damage to the bilateral lobes causes the inability to recognize objects by
sight. - ANS-Occipital Lobe Asterogenesis, or the loss of the ability to sense objects, may result
from damage to the anterior portion. This may be experienced by patients with post cerebral
vascular accidents - ANS-parietal Lobe
Affective disorders, dementia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are examples
of disorders that originate in this lobe. - ANS-Temporal Lobe Drugs

Many drugs, including antipsychotics, are metabolized by the body through the enzyme system.
The enzyme in the gut wall or liver converts the drug into a biotransformed product in the
bloodstream. The drug will remain partially unchanged and partially biotransformed after
passing through the liver and gut wall (left). How does the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) affect the
amygdala? - ANS-inhibits and activates the amygdala
Human central nervous system communication at synapses is which of the following? -

One of the most important mood-regulating neurotransmitters is me. I'm associated with
executive function, your capacity for success, organizational skills, and all the good things,
including emotional intelligence. When I'm working hard in the prefrontal cortex, that is the time.
I also play a crucial role in your ability to move and coordinate. Being balanced is very important
to me; too much or too little can cause problems. - ANS-Dopamine
