AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ALIC was smaller in patients with schizophrenia, and this was most marked in the left hemisphere (diagnosis × hemisphere interaction, F = 4.02, df = 118, P = 0.047).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Brain In Schizophrenia The fluid-filled spaces (the ventricles) in the interior of the temporal lobes are often enlarged and the temporal lobe tissue diminished. The greater the observed changes the greater the severity of the person’s thought disorder and his or her auditory hallucinations.

Detailed explanation-3: -When those microRNAs are reduced, a receptor on the surface of motile cilia lining the ventricle walls called Drd1 is increased. Results show that when this mechanism is active, two changes occur in the ventricles: The motile cilia move more slowly, and the brain ventricles are enlarged.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the lateral ventricles are located in each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex, one in the left hemisphere, one in the right. The lateral ventricles are C-shaped structures and have three horns which project into three lobes of the brain: the frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes.
