Discussion:
Neuroanatomical Structure & Function, Synapses and Addiction
These are discussion board questions that only require brief answers.
Please help me write responses for:
NEUROANATOMICAL STRUCTURE
Based on the text, describe the functioning of one neuroanatomical structure, its relation to other structures, and the types of cognitive/behavioral deficits that might be observed with damage to this area. (I chose the Olfactory Bulb)
SYNAPSES
For this questions, please describe the synapse of a terminal button onto a dendritic membrane. Indicate at least six ways that a drug can affect synaptic transmission. Compare the changes in drug reactivity that is noted in tolerance and sensitization. Provide an explanation for each effect.
ADDICTION
Based on your text, summarize the major effects of the opiates, and link these effects to the various receptors that have been identified in the brain. Distinguish between physical and psychological addiction.
