TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: One major pathway involving this compound is the tuberoinfundibular one that transfers it from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland. This compound is involved in voluntary motor control via its nigriostriatal pathway, and it binds with lactotrophs in order to inhibit the secretion of prolactin, which is a major antagonist of it. It is the immediate precursor of norepinephrine in the epinephrine synthesis pathway. Antagonists of this neurotransmitter are used to treat schizophrenia, and deficiency of this neurotransmitter can lead to Parkinsons disease. For 10 points, name this neurotransmitter associated with the brain's pleasure center whose precursor is L-dopa.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: In studying this structure, Elizabeth Gould showed that dendrite spine density and estradiol levels peaked together. A circuit of structures interconnecting this structure and the cortex was proposed by James Papez, and axon collaterals named for Schaffer innervates neurons in the CA1 portion of this structure. Neurons that respond only when an animal is in a certain region of space, known as place cells, are located in this structure. It consists of two sheets of neurons called Ammon's horn and the dentate gyrus, the first of which sends axons into the fornix. Connected ventrally and laterally to the olfactory cortex, this structure inhibits CRH release. For 10 points, name folded structure of the limbic system that plays a major role in learning and memory.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: During the Renaissance, this city was home to the printing press of Aldus Manutius, which printed the first European editions of major Greek classics. The majority of galleys for the Holy League at the Battle of Lepanto were provided by Spain and this city. Rulers of this city, such as Enrico Dandolo, annually threw a ring into the Adriatic to celebrate this city's symbolic marriage to the sea. For 10 points, name this northeast Italian city once ruled by doges, which is built on a series of canals.
