Summary Introduction
To explain: The other functions that might be disrupted in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Concept introduction: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects the hippocampus and the amygdala. Both the components belong to the limbic system. It works with the cerebral cortex and controls the emotions and contributes to memory.

- Which of the following is True and which of the following is false: 1) Psychoactive drugs rarely provoke a response by the area postrema due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier easily. 2) George weighs 200 lbs and Marcy weighs 120 lbs. Both are sadly opioid addicts. If they both inject the same amount of heroin, they will likely have similar experiences because the amount of blood you have is not related to your weight. 3) Drugs that are addictive always produce tolerance and withdrawal. 4) Symptoms of withdrawal are usually the opposite of the effects of the previously used drug. 5) Although their main effects occur in other neurochemical systems, both MDMA (Ecstasy) and cannabis distort the activity of dopamine, suggesting that these drugs have the potential to be addictive. 6) Opioids produce most of their effects by enhancing the release of a variety of neurochemicals from presynaptic axon terminals. 6) Dr. Baskin is studying the heritability of aggressiveness in…arrow_forwardErtha has Dementia which is a neurologic disorder that affects ones memory, thinking, and behavior. It can even affect fine motor skills causing loss of balance or ones ability to perform ADL’s. Ertha is no longer in her familiar home which is adding to her anxiety and could be making her dementia worse. She may forget to take medication or take it more than once due to poor memory. Key nursing considerations would be to have a CNA help assist with ADL’s and report back to Nurse if Ertha isn’t willing to comply with help. Ertha should be given help but as long as she is capable, she should perform all ADL’s unassisted. Ertha should have a schedule laid out and easily followed so she can focus. All tasks need to be made very simple and easy to follow to avoid the patient from getting confused and agitated. Ertha should have a medication box clearly marked so she can read it. Meals need to be monitored because as the dementia progresses, she may forget to eat. (Videbeck, 2020) Risk…arrow_forwardDescribe a case of schizophrenia you have seen.

- The ____ and ____ are both found deep within fissures of the cerebral cortex. These two regions form a network with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Although they are also involved in other important functions, many modern imaging studies show that they activate simultaneously during the conscious experience of emotional feelings. A) anterior cingulate cortex; anterior insular cortex B) thalamus; hippocampus C) caudate nucleus; globus pallidus D) substancia nigra; ventra tegmental areaarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT considered a positive symptom of schizophrenia? believing in having superior powers or abilities believing that someone or an alien implanted a device in their head believing that words on a billboard contain secret messages hearing voices (auditory hallucinations) inability to receive pleasure out of life (anhedonia)arrow_forwardSome survivors of disastrous events have post-traumaticstress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms include nightmaresabout the experience and suddenly feeling as if the eventis recurring.

- Which of the following statements best describes the appearance of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's Disease? Amyloid plaques do first appear in neocortical structures spreading to basal ganglia structures, while neurofibrillary tangles are first found in locus coeruleus spreading to the neocortex. Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles do first appear in basal ganglia structures and then spread progressively to neocortical structures. Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are evenly spread throughout basal ganglia, diencephalic and neocortical structures. Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles do first appear in neocortical structures and then spread progressively to basal ganglia structures.arrow_forwardAt high doses of stimulants, people who abuse stimulants may exhibit behaviors that mimic schizophrenia.
