Psych 350 Final

Front 1

ADHD symptoms

Back 1

inattention, hyper activity, and impulsivity
-only has to have 6/9 in one of the categories.

Front 2

ADHD etiology (frontal cortex, heritability, reward circuitry& dopamine signaling)

Back 2

1/2 people still have ADHD as kids. 3:1 male to female. 50% heritability.

Front 3

ADHD treatment

Back 3

most popular is stimulants like ritalin, adderall, strattera. short term- adderall better than ritalin
-CBT, BT

Front 4

ADHD clinical characteristics (e.g., hyper-focus)

Front 5

ADHD elimination diet

Back 5

avoid processed foods, eat whole foods

Front 6

Performance-enhancing effects of ADHD meds for“normal” students (especially when sleep-deprived

Back 6

detrimental to health

Front 7

the importance of dopamine/D2 receptors and thebrain’s reward circuits

Back 7

alcohol more reinforcing for some individuals. D2 (dopamine receptors)- genetics, childhood abuse/neglect. When addicted, low dopamine response of everyday highs

Front 8

alcohol effects on brain

Back 8

-affects 3 major neurotransmitters: glutamate(excite), GABA (inhibit), and dopamine

Front 9

mind, and body (and effects by blood alcoholconcentration

Back 9

high risk of antisocial and neurotic personality factors

Front 10

comparison of alcohol & marijuana (THCactive ingredient

Back 10

Alcohol has potential for lethal overdoes, long-term brain damage, greater addiction potential, damage to developing fetus, driving impairment, violence trigger, and damage to major organs. Marijuana does not apply to any of these.

Front 11

nicotine use disorders prevalence rate

Back 11

24%- highest rate of lifetime prevalence of substance-related diagnoses. alcohol is 14% and illicit drugs is 6%

Front 12

genetic and symptom linkage between anorexia andOCD

Back 12

35% co-morbidity with OCD

Front 13

amenorrhea and refeeding syndrome

Back 13

amenorrhea- absence of at least 3 consecutive periods

Front 14

BMI cutoff for anorexia

Back 14

<17.5, body weight less than 85% of expected

Front 15

anorectic loss of appetite

perceptions that don't conform with reality

Front 21

loose associations

Back 21

split between thoughts, thinking becomes derailed, can't follow them when they're talking, are very little related to original topic

Front 22

dopamine hypothesis (and evidence to support)

Back 22

many symptoms of schizophrenia is caused by early on increased cerebral dopamine activity
-all anti-psychotic drugs block DA transmission

Front 23

hypofrontality (DLPFC and working memory)

Back 23

frontal cortex is under-active and under-developed. people with schizophrenia have smaller frontal cortexes. DLPFC

Front 24

genetic evidence

Back 24

monozygotic twins 40-50%

dizygotic concordance about 10%

adoption studies has shown that schizophrenic-prone kids adopted into abusive families have higher chances of developing it

Front 25

disordered lipid metabolism

Back 25

brain does not produce antioxidants and as a result fatty acids are getting oxidized and unusable. EPA form of omega-3 helps!

prevalence rate of Schizophrenia

Back 26

1% or 1/100 every US adults

Front 27

neuroleptic/antipsychotic treatment (as coveredin lecture) of schizophrenia

Back 27

neuroleptic drugs- Haldol, Thorazine, Melloril

-many side effects like weight gain, sedation, motor spasms

-only 5% to recover
