Answer to Question 1

Answer: Analgesia involves opiate receptors in the periaqueductal gray matter; hypothermia involves opiate receptors within the preoptic area; opiate receptors within the ventral tegmental area and the nucleus accumbens are implicated in the reinforcing effects of opiates.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Autism is characterized by poor social skills, poor communicative abilities, and impaired imagination. Several genes strongly contribute as causes for autism, and prenatal toxins (thalidomide) can induce autism. Treatments are largely preventative, in that pregnant women can avoid taking thalidomide or contracting rubella. There are no current biological therapies for autism.
