EXTRA CREDIT Q1 (2 pоssible pоints) Pick оnly the one you know best (or none will be grаded) AND pleаse stаrt your answer with the question number chosen OPTION A. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor drugs are indicated for many cases where elevation of the monoamines, including but not limited to the catecholamines, is desired via blocking their breakdown. However, these drugs are not prescribed as often for depression as other antidepressant meds due to their widespread effects at the neuroeffector junctions of the autonomic nervous system. With that: i. Hypothesize a few side effects that may result from taking a MAO inhibitor. ii. Explain why these might occur (mechanistically) in 2-3 organized bullets below. OR OPTION B. To perform surgery with a minimum of pain for the patient, a patient may be administered a general anesthetic to prevent sensation and consciousness, as well as a drug to prevent reflexive muscle spasms. With that, on the next page: i. From what you have learned of CNS motor control, hypothesize a few mechanisms below by which a drug can specifically prevent muscle contraction (hint: one mechanism is how the drug vecuronium bromide (Norcuron) works, which is based on the plant poison curare, and was associated with an accidental medical error mortality several years ago). ii. With this drug, briefly describe in 1-2 bullets below what extra measure do you think must be taken to keep the patient alive if it is preventing all muscular activity and why?
