Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Neurological disorders (e.g., temporal lobe epilepsy, head injury, tumor, cerebral vascular accidents, migraine, and dementia) may produce symptoms such as blackout, fugues, depersonalization, amnesia, anxiety and panic symptoms, and hallucinations. Several empirical trials have indicated that between 10 and 21 of patients with dissociative identity disorder have abnormal brain activity. Therefore, although abnormal neurological function cannot account for all cases, some dissociative symptoms may result from neurological conditions. Neuroanatomical and neurochemical studies are few and have methodological flaws. When persons with dissociative identity disorder are compared with persons with PTSD, there are few differences in brain anatomy and brain function. In both conditions, chronic stress is present. In PTSD, this stress may produce neuroanatomical and neurochemical changes that affect memory.
