Which neurotransmitter is more likely to be effective in reducing anxiety?
Dopamine is a feel good neurotransmitter.
How does caffeine affect the heart?
Well, caffeine (like most pyschoactive drugs) exerts its effect on us by altering the activity of some of our neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the nervous system's way of conveying messages between neurons, and also to muscle tissue. Some neurotransmitters that caffeine is known to increase the activity of are norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. The increase in norepinphrine is likely what causes the heart rate to increase, however each of these neurotransmitters has some stimulatory effects. Norepinephrine, however, is a powerfully stimulating neurotransmitter; it is associated with the 'fight or flight' response, which of course includes an increased heart rate. Caffeine can also cause ectopics (extra beats) in the heart if you have too much
What is the neurotransmitter responsible for falling in love?
The exact mechanism in unknown and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
Is calcium a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction?
Potassium deficiency more likely, but yes.
The neurotransmitter most likely produced when a person uses a drug that creates a sense of well-being is?
Most likely Dopamine which in excess accumulated in the brain cause schizophrenia.
Which neurotransmitter is deficient in Alzheimer's Disease?
Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type is not caused by any one particular neurotransmitter. In fact, the causes are multifactorial, ranging from genetic (with changes often found on chrosome #1, chromosome #21, and others) to environmental (various proposed toxins) to psychosocial (with some individual not showing symptoms despite significant changes to brain parenchyma, and others showing significant symptoms in spite of minimal evidence of structural changes to the brain). At any rate, the more one reads, solves puzzles, and otherwise engages in cognitive activities, the less likely they are to show symptoms of this disease. So it's "use it or lost it", as they say!
Which circumstance is most likely cause a farmer to store soybeans for future sale instead of selling them right after harvest?
The circumstance that is most likely to cause a farmer to store soybeans for future sale instead of selling them right after harvest is having a surplus. When there is an overabundance, the farmer will not get paid as much.
What is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons?
Magnesium is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons. Magnesium can affect synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release, similar to calcium.
If drug A antagonizes an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System of a patient the most likely effect would be what?
Jittery - your taking away the inhibitory element with the antagonist.
What is depolarization of a neurotransmitter?
Depolarization of a neurotransmitter refers to the shift in the electrical charge of the neuron, making it more likely to generate an action potential. This can occur when a neurotransmitter binds to its receptor on the postsynaptic membrane, causing ion channels to open and allowing the influx of positively charged ions. This depolarization triggers a series of events that lead to the transmission of the nerve signal.
What is the advantage of having multiple receptor subtypes for a neurotransmitter?
Multiple receptor subtypes allow for more "fine-tuned" neuromodulation of a given "signal" in a neural network. Each receptor subtype typically has a different binding affinity for the given neurotransmitter. Therefore, the neurotransmitter may bind more strongly or more weakly to one subtype over another. This is most likely an effect of genetic variation, as the genes coding for the protein(s) present in the receptor slightly vary from subtype to subtype, yet still allow for binding by the neurotransmitter ligand.
An epic is most likely associated with which of these?
a God or hero
