Question 5

Question
T or F. The most current Monoamine Hypothesis posits that there are depleted monoamine levels (5HT, NE, DA) and these deficiencies can be measured in the plasma, CSF and brain tissue.

  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
The NT Receptor hypothesis posits that abnormalities in the receptors for monoamine NT's leads to [blank_start]depression[blank_end]. Further, deficient activity of monoanime NT's causes [blank_start]upregulation[blank_end] of postsynaptic NT receptors.
Answer
  • depression

Question 7

Question
Which important signal conduction cascades are triggered by neurotransmitters?
Answer

Question
In the Second Messenger Malfunction Theory, problems in the [blank_start]2nd[blank_end] messenger system can [blank_start]impair[blank_end] neurotransmitter function [blank_start]without[blank_end] changes in monoamine levels or receptor numbers. This results in a [blank_start]downstream[blank_end] impact on gene expression.
Answer
  • 2nd
  • 1st
  • impair
  • increase
  • without
  • with
  • downstream
  • upstream

  • Second Messenger Monaminergic System

Question 12

Question
Match the monoamine circuit to its function(s): 5HT: [blank_start]Affect[blank_end] [blank_start]Anxiety[blank_end] [blank_start]Distress[blank_end] [blank_start]Behavioral Inhibition[blank_end] NE [blank_start]Arousal[blank_end] [blank_start]Responsiveness[blank_end] [blank_start]Alerting Signals[blank_end] DA [blank_start]Reward[blank_end] [blank_start]Interest[blank_end][blank_start]Motivation[blank_end]

  • Affect
  • Anxiety
  • Distress
  • Behavioral Inhibition

  • Responsiveness
  • Alerting Signals
  • Reward
  • Interest
  • Motivation

Question 13

Question
The PMHNP is explaining to her patient the role of 5HT in depression, specifically the "Behavioral Inhibition" system. What is the best explanation of this system below?
Answer
  • It is linked to pleasure and reward, and this becomes overactive in depression, decreasing inhibition.
  • It is linked to the stimulus of the PFC, and subsequently behavioral arousal
  • It is tuned to responding to fear or anxiety producing stimuli

Question 14

Question
NE is a monoamine, specifically a [blank_start]catecholamine[blank_end].
Answer
  • catecholamine

Question 15

Question
NE in the CNS is produced in the [blank_start]nucleus[blank_end] [blank_start]locus[blank_end] [blank_start]ceruleus[blank_end].
Answer
  • nucleus
  • locus
  • ceruleus

Question 16

Question
Put the correct statement below:
Answer
  • NE stimulates the NA, then the PFC and then the VTA
  • NE stiumulates the PFC, then the VTA and then the NA
  • NE stimulates the VTA, then the PFC and then the NA
  • NE stimulates the PFC, then the amygdala and the the NA

Question 17

Question
NE is modulated by which part of the brain?
Answer
  • PFC
  • Nucleus Accumbens
  • Locus Coeruleus
  • Amygdala

Question 18

Question
Dopamine is a monoamine, specifically a [blank_start]cathecolamine[blank_end].
Answer
  • catecholamine

Question 19

Question
The [blank_start]mesolimbic[blank_end] pathway is involved in pleasure and reward; stimulation of this pathway results in a sense of pleasure.
Answer
  • mesolimbic
  • mesocortical

Question 20

Question
The [blank_start]mesocortical[blank_end] pathway is involved in motivational behavior, and is tied to pleasure and reward.
Answer
  • mesocortical
  • mesolimbic

Question 21

Question
Monoamine Hypothesis Made Simple for Patient Education-Label the functions with the correct neurotrasmitter.
Image:
Dane5 Ht (binary/octet-stream)
Answer
  • Alertness, Energy
  • Attention, Motivation, Pleasure, Reward
  • Obsessions and Compulsions

Question 22

Question
The most used neurotransmitter in the nervous system is [blank_start]glutamate[blank_end].
Answer
  • glutamate

Question 23

Question
What is the MOA of ketamine, and the reason why it may be useful in the treatment of depression?
Answer
  • It activates glutamate in the limbic system, mitigating the resulting dysfunction in the balance of glutamate receptor activation
  • It blocks the excitatory post synaptic response of glutamate.
  • NMDA is one of the main receptors for glutamate, and ketamine is an NMDA receptor blocker.
