Find the Alberta Human Rights Act, RSA 2000, c A-25.5. The Act states that the first Monday in August of each year is a day of public celebration and known as: (enter the three words, without punctuation): 

What type of neurotransmitters can diffuse directly between neurons and activate second messengers?

You are a researcher studying a specific population of neurons in the hippocampus that release a newly discovered neurotransmitter, which you have named “IOU1 neurons.” Describe an optogenetic experiment you could conduct to determine whether turning these neurons on/off affects learning and memory in a mouse model. Be sure to mention both channelrhodopsin and halorhodopsin in your description! 

A knee-jerk reflex circuit involves:

Locate the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal of Alberta decision C.C. v. University of Alberta, 2024 AHRC 65 (CanLII).  In this decision, the complainant alleged that the respondent discriminated against them in the area of:

Dr. Chase’s wife is a nurse and works a variable schedule that does not necessarily align with times that the sun rises and sets. This inconsistent sleep schedule may disrupt the activity of an endocrine gland that releases a hormone important for sleep regulation.  Which gland and hormone are likely dysregulated in this circumstance? 

What is a key characteristic of metabotropic receptors?

Which neurotransmitter is an elusive enigma that has evaded our understanding for decades?

Which of these is NOT a likely symptom of iodine deficiency? 

The brain has two systems that use dopamine: the mesostriatal pathway, and the mesolimbalcortical pathway. In the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, we use a dopamine precursor, L-dopa, to increase dopamine signalling in the substantia nigra.  1. Because dopamine is increased everywhere in the brain via oral administration of L-dopa, what side effects would you expect to see alongside this medication? 2. Do a quick google (I told you I wouldn’t make you do research again but I lied…it’s only a little bit so it’s okay, right?) and see if that’s a real side effect of the medication. What are the real side effects? What could explain them?
