Answer: D. glutamate

Explanation:

The GLUTAMATE HYPOTHESIS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA is based around the belief that schizophrenia may be due to a low level of activity of glutamate in the glutamate synapse, especially in the prefrontal cortex.

This is because, increased levels of dopamine have been known to lead to schizophrenia according to the DOPAMINE THEORY of schizophrenia and dopamine inhibits the release of glutamate as well as inhibiting neurons that glutamate excites.

In short, INCREASED levels of dopamine show symptoms similar to DECREASED levels of glutamate meaning that schizophrenia may be due to a deficiency of activity of the glutamate synapse .

What is the importance of the Okefenokee swamp to Georgia
Len [333]

The Okefenokee swamp extends from Waycross, GA to the Florida-Georgia state Line boundary. It was the last piece of “untamed” Georgia area after the Civil War as the area was thought to be uninhabitable by humans.

The swamp served as a boundary between three Georgia Native American nations, a settlement for Spanish missions, a canal site, safe have for slaves and whites, a battleground between the Seminoles and the US Army, and a railroad/logging site (which destroyed a significant amount of the habitat).

To this day it is a federally-protected, indigenous wildlife sanctuary for many threatened and endangered species.
