ANtoher common result of taking the drug would be higher blood pressure (obviously the intent based on the question) but also anxiety (due to the higher blood pressure if it goes too high), chest pain, tingling/pricking (also due to the blood pressure change) and so forth.
2. When monkeys with Kluver-Bucy syndrome pick up lighted matches and snakes, we do not know whether they are displaying an emotional deficit or an inability to identify the object. What kind of research method might help answer this question?
Perhaps the best way to decipher that is to use both the objects that the monkeys should not generally be picking up and then comparing it to more docile and inanimate objects such as wood blocks. If the monkeys interact with the objects in much the same manner regardless of the objects in question, there's a good chance that the composition or safety (or lack thereof) of the objects is probably not of any concern. Either the monkeys don't care or they don't have the mental faculties to care in the first place.
3. Certain unusual aspects of brain structure were observed in the brain of Albert Einstein ( M.C. Diamond, Scheibel, Murphy, & Harvey, 1985; Witelson, Kigar, & Harvey,...
One interpretation is that he was born with certain specialized brain features that encouraged his scientific and intellectual abilities. What is an alternative interpretation?
There is certainly much to be said of genetics informing whether or not a person is intellectually gifted. However, I would diverge from the statement above in one major way. Many people that are autistic, have Down's syndrome and other neurological or brain disorders like ADD/ADHD often have high amounts of raw intelligence. However, this does not mean that the will use it or even that they CAN use those faculties. Through third-party and medical interventions, this potential may be realized. The point is that not all mental acuity born into a person will be used or that it can be used and it's ultimately up to the person to use the gifts they have. Just because a person has good intellectual gifts does not mean they will be biologically or mentally guided by their own brain to use those gifts. Also, even people that are not born with high raw intelligence can get very far through strong education and diligent use of the resources that they do have and possess at any given time even if it's not at birth through physiology.

At this stage, the drug produces no more depressive effects. Morphine has different effects at various concentrations The depressive curve is used to show the bad effect of morphine. It shows the concenrtaion of morphine over time before it becomes toxic to the user. The margin of safety should be large to avoid toxicity / poisoning. What is a margin of safety? It is the distance between the desired effect and the toxic
Although there is a broad range of treatment options for heroin addiction, including medications and behavioral therapies, research indicates that when medication treatment is integrated with other supportive services, the addict is more often able to recover and return to a stable and productive lifestyle (NIDA). In 1997, a panel of national experts concluded that opiate drug addictions are diseases of the brain and medical disorders that can be treated
According to NIDA: A range of treatments exist for heroin addiction, including medications and behavioral therapies. Science has taught us that when medication treatment is combined with other supportive services, patients are often able to stop using heroin (or other opiates) and return to stable and productive lives. (NIDA, August 2009, p. 2) Drug treatment options are used often in combination with traditional cognitive behavioral and social behavioral therapies
Abstract The research question was assessing substance abuse treatment effectiveness. This is an important topic because substance abuse is a chronic disorder that many patients are unable to get rid of and this causes social strife and increases criminal activity in the country. Heroin addiction is currently the most abused drug in the country and this trend not only affects the poor but also the will to do individuals in society.
Drugs, Rock Music and Developing Countries Examining the effects of imported rock music on developing countries and its impact on violence and drug abuse is by no means a simple or straightforward task. One important factor is that this type of music overwhelmingly appeals to young people under age 30, and these are often the majority of the population in many developing nations, especially the Middle East and North Africa. To
psychopharmacology, the goal is to use drugs to improve brain function. This takes place via very specific actions within the brain. The drug may be administered in one of several ways, and its metabolism will vary based on many factors, making psychopharmacology a complicated medical issue. In addition, some people abuse substances known to have a psychopharmalogical effect. Both the appropriate and inappropriate use of these drugs can have
