- Right
- Left
Correct Answer

A. Left
6.

Correct Answer

A. Anterior to precentral gyrus
8.

Which lobe is responsible for decision making?
- Frontal

Correct Answer

A. Frontal
9.

The following are ______ and they are buried deep in the brain.caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra.
- Thalamic axons
- Cortical nuclei
- Basal ganglia
- Hippocampal nuclei
Correct Answer

A. Basal ganglia
10.

A lesion in this area can lead to Huntington's disease and Hemiballismus:_
- Internal capsule
- Thalamus
- Basal ganglia
- Hippocampus
- Medulla
Correct Answer

A. Basal ganglia
11.

A patient complains that they are having intractible pain. They state that the pain is emanating from the opposite side of the body. Which of the following could be a possible cause?
- Wernicke's Word salad
- A lesioned Hippocampus
- Thalamic pain syndrome
- Hemiballismus
Correct Answer

A. Thalamic pain syndrome
12.

A lesion in this area will lead to "intentional tremors."
- Cerebral cortex
- Cerebellum
- Pons
- Thalamus
Correct Answer

A. Cerebellum

Explanation

This is because the cerebellum is involved in fine tuning of motor control. When the cerebellum is lesioned, patients will exhibit tremors when intending to carry out a motor function because of the loss of fine tuning.

Rate this question:
13.

The basal ganglia is a cluster of cell bodies called
- Nuclei
- Tracts
- Bulbs
- Ganglia
Correct Answer

A. Nuclei
14.

What is the major pathway in and out of the cerebral cortex? It is made up of "white matter" ONLY?
- Caudate nucleus
- Putamen
- Thalamus
- Internal capsule
Correct Answer

A. Internal capsule
15.

The basal ganglia "nuclei" are sensory or motor?
- Sensory
- Motor
Correct Answer

A. Motor
16.

Does the left frontal eye field drive one eye or both eyes to the right?
- One eye
- Both eyes
Correct Answer

A. Both eyes
17.

Where is the primary auditory cortex located?
- In the hippocampus
- Inside the silvian fissure
- In the frontal lobe
- In the occipital lobe
Correct Answer

A. Inside the silvian fissure
18.

A patient has had a stroke. The patient is observed speaking very fluently with a smile on their face. Their speech, although fluent, is not coherent. Which of the following may be lesioned?
- Wernicke's
- Broca's
- Hippocampus'
- Bilateral pons
Correct Answer

A. Wernicke's
19.

The parietal lobe is very important in sensory intergration behind the post central gyrus. When this area is lesioned, patients will exhibit:-
- Hyperactivity
- Confusion
- A "neglect syndrome"
- Forgetfullness
Correct Answer

A. A "neglect syndrome"

Explanation

Patients will fail to acknowledge one side of the world.

Rate this question:
20.

A lobectomy of this area can lead to loss of inhibition:-
- Frontal
- Parietal
- Temporal
- Occipital
Correct Answer

A. Frontal
21.

- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. No
22.

- Thalamus
- Hippocampus
- Frontal lobe
- Basal ganglia
Correct Answer

A. Hippocampus
23.

In what lobe is the Wernicke's area?
- Frontal
- Parietal
- Temporal
- Occipital
Correct Answer

A. Temporal
24.

Broca's area in located in what lobe?
- Frontal
- Parietal
- Temporal
- Occpital
Correct Answer

A. Frontal
25.

Does all sensory information pass through the thalamus?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. No

Explanation

The sense of smell does not pass through the thalamus. All others do.

Rate this question:
26.

Patients with intensional tremors from a cerebellar lesion will exhibit tremors on the contralateral or ipsilateral side?
- Contralateral
- Ipsilateral
Correct Answer

A. Ipsilateral
27.

A patient with _______ is at risk of developing a lesion in the internal capsule.
- Pituitary adenoma
- Hypertension
- Hypothyroid disease
- Locked in syndrome
- Broca's
Correct Answer

A. Hypertension

Explanation

The is because there are small blood vessels in this area and HTN predisposes an individual to developing a lesion in this area.

Rate this question:
28.

The thalamus sits on top of the
- Cerebellum
- Hippocampus
- Pituitary gland
- Brain stem
Correct Answer

A. Brain stem
