Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The structure that plays a role in memory is the hippocampus, located in the limbic system of the brain. A neuron carries and processes information within the nervous system. The cerebrum is the largest region of the brain. A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger within the nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Researchers are not sure why most cases of Alzheimer disease (AD) arise, although a variety of genetic and environmental factors appear to be involved. Alzheimer disease is not directly linked to smoking and alcohol intake. It is inappropriate to assume that other family members had the disorder but were misdiagnosed. Alzheimer disease has a predictable course with distinct phases or stages.
