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.
