dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia was first proposed more than 30 years ago on the basis of indirect evidence (776-786). The hypothesis happened to be a hit so It received support from studies of postmortem brain tissue that found increased striatal D2/3 receptor density and dopamine levels in patients with schizophrenia and from studies of dopamine and its metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (776-786). Even though the studies of postmortem brain tissues supported the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia

Question: If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly‚ what would the offspring look like? Hypothesis: If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly‚ then the offspring will be a 50% chance of a apterous fly or 50% chance of a wild fly. If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly‚ then the offspring will be a 100% wild fly. Supporting Evidence for Hypothesis: Apterous flies have no wings‚ and are a recessive gene‚ while wild flies have wings and are a dominant gene

Purpose and Hypothesis: Purpose To determine if light intensity affects the rate of growth in Brassica rapa. Hypothesis If the plant that is exposed to high intensity light grows more‚ then plants can adapt to absorb more photons for photosynthesis. Eventually‚ the rate of photosynthesis will top out‚ and stop increasing‚ due to the lack of one of the components necessary for photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process used primarily by plants but sometimes by other organisms to

Hypothesis Statement Trees that exhibit gumming are more resistant to fusarium dieback caused by the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) because the gum secreted acts as a defense against beetles that attempt to penetrate the bark‚ and as a result grant the tree faux resistance to the Fusarium euwallaceae fungi. Introduction Californian agriculture is at great risk because of a disease being spread by the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB)‚ Euwallacea sp. The PSHB is an ambrosia beetle

Hypothesis If there are native and non-native birds in this habitat‚ then there will be more native birds because these native birds live in wetlands‚ and strive in this ecosystem. Procedure Independent Variable: Habitat/conditions Dependent Variable: Number of birds Constant: Location (Pouhala Marsh) 1. Do background research on the Marsh (what types of species there are) 2. Print out pictures of the bird species labeled with their names so they can be identified them at the site 3

Marshall Islands: Atomic Bomb Testing AN350 - Usha Prasad Chaminade University Introduction This paper explores the documentation of the claims for diseases that were caused by nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. Many suggest that cancer and other diseases in these islands have been caused by the nuclear testing in the Pacific. I chose this topic because I was always interested in the overall culture of the Marshall Islands. I was raised in Guam‚ a United States

Is Life Expectancy More Correlated with Obesity or Poverty? Hypothesis: When obesity and poverty rates are tested to see which is more correlated with life expectancy I would expect poverty to be more correlated and for it to be a negative correlation as well. I say this because obesity is in a way a subcategory of poverty. For example‚ people who are poorer tend to buy the less healthy foods because they are at a cheaper price‚ thusly causing obesity. Procedure: Research and Identify the obesity
