Neuropsychology midterm

all parts of the brain are equally active in generating behavior/mental functioning

explicit, conscious memory for facts/events/knowledge

damage here results in

failure to recognize objects through vision [occipital lobe lesions]

this cranial nerve is in charge of chewing movements

Pierre Flourens supports

CN XI

CN I

pt can't comprehend speech, expresses in word salad, and has no halting speech

Brain cannot store glucose, and thus needs constant blood flow for energy

all cells in the __ are devoted to specific functions

SPECT + PET can show abnormalities in the cerebellum for autism diagnosis

CN VI

language functioning is NOT strictly localizable

the image is __ in the optic radiations

CN VII

CN IX

CN IV

the thalamus is involved in homeostasis and survival

name this structure

different areas of the brain is responsible for specific behaviors/functions

__ supply blood to the posterior of brain; __ supply blood to anterior of brain

pt can understand speech but is unable to produce it fluently

name this structure

damage here results in

Franz Gall supports

arteries carry blood from the the brain back to the heart

auditory perception can be localized in

images in the nasal field

CN XII

__ contains the substantia nigra

if both Herchl's gryi are destroyed, you have cortical deafness

lesion in RAS results in

CN X

__ hemisphere is involved in overlearned statements

Parkinson's disease is a disease of the basal ganglia

damage here results in

images in the temporal field

CN VIII

__ lobe disturbances = poor receptive/expressive language, memory, and academic skills

information from the hemiretinas travel via CN II to

name this structure

damage here results in

this pathway follows the

this cranial nerve is in charge of hearing and balance

name this structure

Bell-Magendie law states that ventral roots deliver sensory information to the brain

_ is an imaging service used to confirm Alzheimer's/dementias

CN V

which cranial nerves are involved in eye movement?

best way to diagnose ADHD is through behavioral rating scales

this pathway follows the

basal ganglia is in charge of

lesion or injury to the medulla is not a life-threatening event

damage here results in

achromatopsia is due to disturbance in left occipital-temporal lobe

CN II

CSF passes from the lateral ventricles > third ventricle > cerebral aqueduct > 4th ventricle

CN III

Males tend to be less lateralized than females
