Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that is believed to be associated with schizophrenia. High levels of dopamine activity in certain areas of the brain have been linked to symptoms of schizophrenia, such as psychosis and delusions. Antipsychotic medications work by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which can alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia.
