Which of the following actions of the drug on tracts of CNS?

a)

Mesocortical

b)

Mesolimbic

c)

d)

Nigrostriatal

2.

A 30-year-old man is brought to the clinic with a history of depression for the past 5 years with suicidal ideation and severe sleep disorders for the past 1 week.

He is suspected with resistant depression and prescribed with imipramine. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely action of the above drug?

a)

Blocks prejunctional α2

-adrenoceptors

b)

Blocks prejunctional neuronal norepinephrine and serotonin

uptake transporters.

c)

Inhibits monoamine oxidase

d)

Modulation of GABA effects.

3.

A 66-year-old man presents to the clinic for evaluation of a tremor. He has

noticed a progressively worsening tremor in his hands for the past 6 months.

The tremor is worse when he is resting and improves a little when he reaches
