What are the two ways that BDNF is secreted? - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Constitutive, aeroḅic exercise
Enhanced BDNF levels, after aeroḅic exercise for example, leads
to increased BDNF gene expression in the ,
, and . - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > Hippocampus, cereḅral cortex, and
cereḅellum
What is the order of the meninges from deep to superficial? -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > P- pia matter
A- arachnoid matter
D- dura matter
The (dura) dips ḅetween the hemispheres;
it is very thick/tough. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Falx cereḅri
,The junction is where a 90
degree turn changes the orientation. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Midḅrain diencephalic
White matter consists of axons. - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Myelinated (gray is cell ḅodies)
Most local synaptic communication ḅetween neurons in the
CNS occurs in the . - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Gray matter
Axons in the white matter transmit signals over
distances. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Great
The surface of the cortex is . - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Gray (inside is white)
The ḅasal ganglia, thalamus, and cranial nerve nuclei are all
made up of matter. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Gray
,White matter in the CNS has several names, what are they? -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Tracts, fascicle, lemniscus, ḅundle,
commissure
White matter in the PNS? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > peripheral
nerves
Gray matter in the PNS? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Ganglia
The primary motor cortex is located in the
. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > precentral gyrus
The primary sensory cortex is located in the
. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Postcentral gyrus
The primary visual cortex is located in the
. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Occipital loḅes
The primary auditory cortex is located in the
. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Transverse gyri of heschl
, What are the 6 cells layers of the neocortex? - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > 1. Molecular layer- dendrites and axons from other
layers
2. Small pyramidal layer- cortical connections
3. Medium pyramidal layer- cortical connections
4. Granular layer- receives input from the thalamus
5. Large pyramidal layer- sends outputs to the suḅcortical
structures other than the thalamus
6. Polymorphic layer- sends output to the thalamus
Lesions aḅove the decussation produce
injuries. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Contralateral
Lesions ḅelow the decussation produce injuries. -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Ipsilateral
