Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Norepinephrine is a major factor in energy. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Dopamine is largely responsible for the brain's experience of pain and pleasure. Serotonin is a major factor in mood.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Addictive behavior is involved with neurological systems, not character flaws. All addictive behaviors follow the same neurological pathways of engagement and reward. Dysfunctional parent-child relationships have not been determined as specifically related to addiction. The neocortex and the limbic system are the two cerebral structures that are involved in addictive behaviors.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
