Answer – Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a type
of brain stimulation therapy used in the treatment of depression and anxiety;
it’s most especially used for the treatment of severe depression. During the
procedure, a magnetic field generator (coil) is placed near the head of the
person to deliver repeated pulses of magnetic energy.
Answer:
What role do transcription factors play in gene structure and function?
Transcription factors are proteins that bind to the upstream regulatory elements of genes in the promoter and enhancer regions of DNA and stimulate or inhibit gene expression and protein synthesis. They play critical roles in embryogenesis and development
Explanation:
Decent from a common ancestor; natural selection.
Answer:
increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress
Explanation:
Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.
