◉ Antipsychotic drugs.
Answer: Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), haloperidol (haldol),
clozapine (clozaril), and risperidone are examples of what kind of
drug?
◉ apraxia.
Answer: ________ is the inability to perform purposeful movement
though no muscular or sensory disturbance is present
,◉ between the third to fourth ventricle.
Answer: Where is the aqueduct of sylvius located?
◉ Area 6.
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the premotor area?
◉ Area 17.
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the primary visual area (most
forms walls of deep calcarine sulcus)?
◉ Area 18 and Area 19.
Answer: Which two Brodmann's area is the visual association areas?
◉ Area 41.
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the primary auditory area?
◉ Arnold-Chiari.
Answer: __________ is a congenital anomaly when the hindbrain is
displaced through the foramen magnum.
◉ aterixis.
,Answer: ___________ is a flapping tremor of hand when wrist extended,
resembling bird flapping wings
◉ ataxia.
Answer: _____________ is a lack of voluntary coordination of muscles,
including gait
◉ benzodiazepine.
Answer: Ativan (Lorazepam) is classified as a _____________
◉ abnormal background; slow variant spike-wave complexes.
Twitch and stare but without LOC.
Answer: How is atypical absence different?
◉ uncus of temporal lobe.
Answer: Where would a seizure originate from if there was an
unpleasant olfactory aura?
◉ axon hillock.
Answer: Where is the site of action potential generation?
◉ Bancaud's phenomenon.
, Answer: With __________ _________, there is unilateral loss of reactivity
of a normal rhythm and initially was described in the context of the
alpha rhythm. It should be considered a pathological finding only
when associated with other more definite abnormalities, such as
slowing. Side lacking "blocking" or alpha attenuation with EO is
abnormal
◉ Basal Ganglia.
Answer: ________ _________ is a collection of neuronal masses/gray
matter. Includes caudate nucleus, putamen, & globus pallidus.
Support fine coordination for locomotion, movements fine and
gross, balance, posture, muscle tone. Important for learning non-
declarative habits, procedures, patterns of behavior. Disruption of
function causes rigidity and losses in coordination (Parkinson's)
◉ Name of tech, date, ID number, EEG indication, last event,
behavioral state, meds, skull defects, electrode placement
modifications, med history, handedness, time of last meal, sleep.
