Describe two biological therapies for schizophrenia and then evaluate each in terms of effectiveness (8 + 16 marks): One biological therapy is the use of typical anti-psychotic drugs‚ such as Chlorpromazine. The main aim of this drug is to treat schizophrenia by reducing the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is because high levels of dopamine are thought to cause schizophrenia‚ therefore by reducing the amount of dopamine‚ the symptoms of schizophrenia should reduce. Typical anti-psychotic drugs

The Biological Importance of Lipids Lipids are organic compounds found in all types of plant and animal cells. They always contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ however the relative amount of oxygen is less than the amount of carbohydrates in lipids. Lipids are polymers and the long chains of repeating units are joined together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty

THE MEMORY PROCESS Memory is a procedure through which the outcomes of knowledge are kept for impending usage. Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885) determined that considerable amount of what we learn is erase from our minds in a short length of time after it is learned‚ when it is learned through the use of sequential learning. Another method of learning is known as paired-associate learning‚ wherein the material learned must be repeated in the order in which it was given‚ also known as memorization.

CHAPTER 5 • THE MEMORY SYSTEM PROBLEMS - Cap. 9 - Sistema di memoria 5.1 Give a block diagram similar to the one in Figure 5.10 for a 8M × 32 memory using 512K × 8 memory chips. 5.2 Consider the dynamic memory cell of Figure 5.6. Assume that C = 50 femtofarads (10−15 F) and that leakage current through the transistor is about 9 picoamperes (10−12 A). The voltage across the capacitor when it is fully charged is equal to 4.5 V. The cell must be refreshed before this voltage drops
