Benzodiazepines work by Multiple choice question.slowing the neuronal signal as it passes through each axon.slowing the reuptake of serotonin.reducing the permeability of the cell walls of neurons, disrupting the flow of anxiety-related activity.binding to receptor sites that become overactive during a period of anxiety.

___ work by binding to receptor sites that become overactive during a period of anxiety.Multiple choice question.MAO inhibitorsBenzodiazepinesTricyclicsNeurotransmitters

Which drugs are used to treat anxiety disorders?stimulantsantipsychoticsbenzodiazepinespsychedelics

How do benzodiazepines indirectly lead to increased dopamine release in the brain?Group of answer choicesBy directly stimulating dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens (NAc)By binding to dopamine receptors and increasing their affinity for dopamineBy inhibiting GABAergic interneurons that normally exert an inhibitory influence on dopaminergic neuronsBy increasing the release of glutamate, which in turn stimulates dopaminergic neurons.

Tricyclic antidepressants work by __________.Group of answer choicesblocking the action-potential of the neuronfacilitating the reuptake of norepinephrineblocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters in the brainfacilitating the reuptake of serotonin

Most drugs that influence behavior do so byMultiple choice question.interfering with the work of neurotransmitters.creating new neural networks.shutting down neural pathways.stopping neural impulses.
