Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is associated with a deficiency of dopamine in the brain. Treatment involves increasing dopamine levels in the brain.

Answer: B
 Depression has been linked to low levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. Glutamate is not typically associated with depression.

Answer: C
 Schizophrenia is associated with high levels of dopamine in specific areas of the brain. Serotonin may play a role in schizophrenia, but it is not the primary neurotransmitter implicated.

 Alzheimer's disease is associated with a reduction in acetylcholine neurotransmitters, not endorphins. Endorphins are associated with pain relief and pleasurable feelings, but not cognitive function.
