QUESTION 13

As a graduate student in a psychology program, Amber will be assisting one of her professors in the laboratory. In preparation, Amber reads several research articles
written by her professor. Amber finds that most subjects in the studies published by her professor have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Based on this
information, it seems likely that the research articles Amber should be reading are about:
O A. low levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
OB. excessive amounts of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
OC damage to myelination.
O D. antagonists that block normal neurotransmitter activity.

Answer 1

The correct option is C. Damage to myelination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple sclerosis can be described as a disease in which a person's body destroys his/her own myelin sheath. Myelin sheath is a protective sheath that covers the nerves. Hence, the nerves are not able to conduct signals. As the body's own cells destroy the myelin sheath, hence multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. Multiple sclerosis remains a deadly disease as the proper cure to it has not yet been found.
