Module 16: Neurotransmitter Testing

Pre-Test

1
 Completed the Pre-Test.

The purpose of the pretest is to see how much you know about a topic from the start. The results will help you to determine where to focus your energy in studying.

The test is not graded. You will never be “penalized” even if you get nothing correct. If desired (and you want to reveal the correct answers), you can repeat the pre-test as many times as you wish.

I repeat for the perfectionists: This is a learning tool only; no grading!

 

Pre-Test:

#1. Neurotransmitter lab testing can include:
#2. All authorities and experts are in total agreement with regard to neurotransmitter testing methods and efficacy.
#3. ___________deficiency may be indicated by elevated KYNA (kyurenic acid) on an OAT test.
#4. This neurotransmitter affects the neuromuscular junction connecting motor nerves to muscles:
#5. Symptoms of low endorphins are: sensitive to pain, cry easily, cravings for comfort foods or drugs.
#6. It is possible to reduce excess neurotoxic quinolinic acid by eliminating tryptophan supplementation.
#7. 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
#8. A high ratio of these compounds on an OAT test can indicate excessive inflammation due to recurrent infections, excessive tryptophan intake, immune overstimulation, excessive adrenal production of cortisol, or excessive exposure to phthalates.
#9. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is also a neurotransmitter.
#10. Amphetamines stimulate the release of norepinephrine and dopamine at the synapse.
