THE BRAIN
MOLECULES THAT INCREASE A NEUROTRANSMITTER'S ACTIVITY.
AGONIST
POV: YOU'RE TREATING A PATIENT WITH INSOMNIA. THEY LIKELY HAVE LOW LEVELS OF THIS NEUROTRANSMITTER.
GABA
THESE PART OF OUR CELLS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING INSTRUCTION FOR CELLULAR FUNCTION. (WE ALSO SHARE MORE THEN HALF OF THESE WITH A BANANNA)

THIS PERIOD OF PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT IS FROM 8WKS PREGNANT AND ON.

WIDE SET EYES, LACK OF FACIAL PROFILE, AND ISSUES WITH VISION AND HEARING ARE RISKS RELATED TO THIS TERATOGEN.
ALCOHOL.
THIS PART OF THE BRAIN IS TO BLAME FOR SLEEP PARALYSIS
THE PONS
POV: YOU JUST WENT ON A RUN. YOU FEEL GREAT. YOUR BODY IS OVERFLOWED WITH THIS NEUROTRANSMITTER.

TOXOPLASMOSIS.
POV: YOU'RE TREATING A PATIENT WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. YOU DO AN MRI OF THEIR BRAIN. YOU NOTICE THEY HAVE DAMAGE TO THIS PART OF THEIR BRAIN.
BASAL GANGLIA
POV: YOU WERE WALKING ALONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A STRANGE FIGURE APPROACHES YOU. YOU FEEL THE URGE TO EITHER RUN OR ATTACK. THIS FEELING CAN BE AQUITED TO THIS NEUROTRANSMITTER.
NOREPINEPHRINE

CAFFEINE.
THIS SUBSET OF THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULATING INVOLUNTARY ACTIONS SUCH AS HEARTRATE AND BREATHING.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
POV: YOU'RE TREATING A PATIENT WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA. YOU EXAMINE THEIR NEUROTRANSMITTER LEVELS AND DISCOVER THEY HAVE AN EXCESS OF THIS.
DOPAMINE
HUMANS TYPICALLY HAVE A SMALL NUMBER OF OFFSPRING IN ONE GESTATIONAL PERIOD. THESE OFFSPRING ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON THEIR PARENTS. HUMANS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE OF SPECIES. (ALTRICIAL OR PRECOCIAL)

LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, DAMAGE TO DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, AND HIGH RISK OF STROKE (CEREBRAL HEMMORAGES) ARE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF THIS TERATOGEN.
COCAINE.
DR. MERRIWETHER MENTIONED "TAN" A PATIENT WHO HAD A STRANGE ISSUE TO DO WITH HIS SPEECH. THE ONLY WORD HE COULD SAY WAS "TAN", HE STRUGGLED WITH FORMING WORDS. WHAT PART OF TAN'S BRAIN WAS AFFECTED?
BROCA'S AREA
POV: YOU'RE TREATING A PATIENT. YOU CHECK THEIR NEUROTRANSMITTER LEVELS AND DISCOVER AN LOW AMOUNT OF ACETYLCHOLINE. THEY LIKELY SUFFER FROM THIS DISEASE.
