I think Parkinson's is related to dopamine, but I'm not completely sure if it's specifically in the nigrostriatal pathway.

This is a tricky one. I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'm not sure I fully understand the nuance between them. I think I'll go with B, since it seems to capture the essence of why staying informed is important, but I'm not 100% confident in that choice.

I feel pretty confident about this. HyperFlex's ability to distribute data locally and eliminate the need for extra hardware cards are key advantages over traditional RAID. I'll select those two options.
