The temperature of the body is regulated almost entirely by nervous feedback mechanisms, and almost all these mechanisms operate through temperature regulating centers located in the hypothalamus. Following statements are as follows:

A. The anterior hypothalamic-preoptic area contains large numbers of heat-sensitive neurons, as well as about one third as many cold-sensitive neurons. These neurons are believed to function as temperature sensors for controlling body temperature.

B. The heat-sensitive neurons increase their firing rate 2- to 10-fold in response to a 10°C increase in body temperature. 

C. The cold-sensitive neurons, by contrast, increase their firing rate when the body temperature increases.

D. Anterior hypothalamus integrates the central and peripheral temperature sensory signals.

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?

A 34-year-old man with schizophrenia has had chronic fatigue for 6 months. He has a good appetite, but has refused to eat vegetables for 1 year because he hears voices saying that vegetables are poisoned. His physical and neurological examinations are normal. His hemoglobin level is 9.1 g/dL, leukocyte count is 10,000/μl3, and MCV is 122. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
