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.
