MSN 671 STUDY GUIDE 40 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS 2025/2026
serotonin and GABA - CORRECT ANSWER Presynaptic reuptake transporters are a
major method of inactivation of which of the following
signal transduction when no agonist or inverse agonist is bound to the receptor -
CORRECT ANSWER What is constitutive activity
net agonism when neurotransmission is deficient and net antagonism when
neurotransmission is excessive - CORRECT ANSWER a partial agonist has what
effect on neurotransmission
- CORRECT ANSWER Agonists cause ligand-gated ion channels to:
both are only possible in the presence of a neurotransmitter - CORRECT ANSWER
positive and negative allosteric modulations
into the neuron - CORRECT ANSWER When voltage-sensitive sodium channels are
open and activated, the flow of sodium is: A. Into the neuron B. Out of the neuron
voltage-sensitive sodium channels
voltage-sensitive calcium channels - CORRECT ANSWER which of the following are
involved in regulating neurotransmission via excitation-secretion coupling?
, impaired cognitive functioning premorbid with further decline during the
prodromal phase - CORRECT ANSWER A 21-year-old man who has just been
diagnosed with schizoid presents with his parents. He speaks with a reserved and
simple language processing style; he is able to understand and relate to simple
questions but seems to get lost when the pace of convo increases. when
reviewing the patient's history, what pattern of cognitive functioning prior to
psychosis would you be most likely to find?
D1-like receptors are excitatory and D2-like receptors are inhibitory - CORRECT
ANSWER DA receptors can be categorized as D1-like (D1 and D5 receptors) and
D2-like (D2, D3, and D4 receptors). What differentiates the two group of
receptors.
neocortical and mesolimbic pathways - CORRECT ANSWER Symptoms of
schizophrenia are hypothetically attributable to malfunctioning in the
Bipolar mania, Parkinson's disease - CORRECT ANSWER for which set of disorder is
psychosis considered an associated feature rather than a defining feature for
diagnosis?
glutamate and glycine - CORRECT ANSWER The activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate
(NMDA) receptors requires the presence of:
A. Glutamate only
. Glutamate and glycine
C. Glutamate, glycine, and magnesium
D. Glutamate and magnesium
