luisa is diagnosed with a medical disorder caused by too much dopamine activity in certain brain regions. her doctor is likely to prescribe a dopamine _______________ to treat her.
reuptake inhibitor.
antagonist.
agonist.
stimulator.

Explanation:

• For the first question: The cerebellum is mainly responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, balance, and posture. Playing the piano involves complex coordinated movements, so damage to the cerebellum is likely to disrupt it. Thinking is mainly related to the cerebral cortex, homeostasis is regulated by the hypothalamus, and sleeping is related to multiple brain regions like the hypothalamus, brainstem, etc.
• For the second question: A dopamine antagonist blocks dopamine receptors, reducing the effect of excessive dopamine activity. A reuptake inhibitor would increase dopamine in the synaptic cleft (bad for too - much dopamine situation), an agonist would mimic or enhance dopamine activity (also bad), and a stimulator is not the right term here as we need to reduce dopamine's impact.

Answer:

• First question: playing piano
• Second question: antagonist
