Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Neural circuitry deficits may explain the memory alterations observed in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Biochemical alterations may confirm dopamine dysfunction. Neuropathology consists of structural defects in multiple areas. Brain metabolism dysfunction indicates the presence of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: The brains of individuals with schizophrenia do show changes in the mesocortical pathway. The brains of individuals with schizophrenia do have alterations in the brain compared to those without schizophrenia. The brain of individuals with schizophrenia shows changes in the hippocampal area of the brain and in the bilateral frontal (not occipital) lobe cortical gray matter.
