Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The receptors for acetylcholine are muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Serotonin receptors are grouped in families such as 5HT 1a, 1b, and so on. Specific receptors for GABA are named A, B, and C. Dopamine receptors are named D1, D2, D3, and so on.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Abnormally high activity of dopamine has been associated with schizophrenia. Loss of cholinergic neurons is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Decreased norepinephrine is associated with depression; excessive norepinephrine is associated with manic symptoms. Increased serotonin is associated with mania; decreased serotonin is associated with depression and insomnia.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
