QUESTION 1 10 points Saved Which of the following is false regarding schizophrenia? Individuals with this disease have a reduced prefrontal cortex Reelin deficits can result in cortical abnormalities Genetic mutations that predispose individuals to disease can relate to neuronal pruning Pathology results from impaired pruning of dopamingergic neurons, which results in episodes of psychosis QUESTION 2 10 points Saved Which of the following best illustrates 'anticipation"? Earlier disease onset in successive generations Increased disease severity over generations A biomarker for a disease that can be tested for early in age An autosomal dominant inheritance mechanism QUESTION 3 10 points Saved Which of the following is not a molecular mechanism of depression? Mutations in SERT resulting in excess serotonin at the synapse during development The ability of cortisol to positively regulate its own production is impaired Reduced serotonin levels at the synapse Reduced BDNF production resulting in hippocampal atrophy

Explanation / Answer

1.

Correct: the statement that the genetic mutations that predispose individuals to disease can relate to neuronal pruning is false for Schizophrenia. This is because predisposition f genetic mutation is not related to neuronal pruning.

Hence, the correct option is (3).

Incorrect: all the other options are incorrect because they are showing true statement about the Schizophrenia.

2.

Correct: the best way of anticipation is to trace the disease related biomarker in the early stage. This is because biomarkers are specific to their disease.

Hence the correct option is (3).

Incorrect: all the other options will not provide the best illustration in early stage.

3.

Correct: in case of the depression usually the level of serotonin is reduced but not increased. So, the statement that mutation in the SERT increase the level of serotonin is false.
