sodium to pass through than the small amount that occurs without neurotransmitter
binding. A drug causes these sodium channels too close entirely. What could the drug
be classified as ✅Inverse agonist
- this case represents an antagonist-like activity, but more severe than an antagonist

A natural ligand (neurotransmitter) causes sodium leak channels to open, allowing more
sodium to pass through than the small amount that occurs without neurotransmitter
binding. A drug causes these sodium channels to open to a level greater than when no
neurotransmitter is present but not as high as when the neurotransmitter is present.
What could the drug be classified as? ✅Partial agonist
- this case represents a drug that can work to a partial extent but not fully

Which of the following is not a potential problem with the monamine hypothesis as
related to serotonin? ✅antidepressants increase serotonin levels in a matter of hours,
but no behavioral effects are seen for 2-4 weeks after administration

- this is the best answer because the length of time until remission of symptoms
suggests that something other than monamine is active but keep in mind that some say
monamine active drugs are modulating a system that takes a long time to change, so
they would not see D as a potential problem. you could argue that all of these are
potential problems for the monoamine hypothesis and thus they would say there needs
to be an "E" answer that is "all of these are potential problems for the monamine
hypothesis
the other answers:
- many people have low basal serotonin levels, yet they dont have depressions
- experimentally decreasing the amounts of serotonin does not result in depression
- treatments that do not target serotonin work just as well as those that do target
serotonin
