CNN Exam STUDYGUIDE QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Clinical neuroscience is:
A. Is the branch of neuroscience that focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms
that underlie diseases and disorders of brain and peripheral nervous systems - i.e. includes
Central Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System disorders.
B. Traditional paper and pencil, and newer more functionally dynamic behavioural
psychophysics (threshold testing etc.)
C. Inattention, inability to stay on task, excessively distractible or over impulsive as in
ADHD or ADD.
D. How fast can person respond verbally, motor wise and in particular perceptually is best
indicator of physiological state? - CORRECT ANSWER A
Inattention, inability to stay on task, excessively distractible or over impulsive as in ADHD or
ADD.
Educationally inadequate performance (attention, learning or memory disorders of reading,
language, number are:
A. Behaviours that are needed to stay alive
B. Cognitive Behaviours
C. Brain Imaging Techniques
D. Brain-behaviour relationships - CORRECT ANSWER B
Brain lesions and 'general sickness behaviour (i.e. flu type immunological symptoms) affect
particular functions including general functions such as arousal level and attention, learning
and memory, but also eating, sleep and activity routines. This is;
A. Behaviours that are needed to stay alive
B. Cognitive Behaviours
C. Brain Imaging Techniques
,D. Brain-behaviour relationships - CORRECT ANSWER D
Networks associated with visually based behaviour?
A.Dorsal and Ventral Cortical Visual Pathways (visually driven actions and working
memory)
B. Subcortical visual/motor pathways (unconscious processing)
C. Default 'Salience' network
D. All of the above - CORRECT ANSWER D
Is both an optical device and the neural substrate for light, and is the major outgrowth of the
brain with same vascular supply.
A. The fovea
B. The neural retina
C. The Eye
D. Optical Coherence Tomography of the Fovea - CORRECT ANSWER C
Is a spatially and functionally organized layered structure with photoreceptors highest energy
users in body.
A. The fovea
B. The neural retina
C. The Eye
D. Optical Coherence Tomography of the Fovea - CORRECT ANSWER B
Which is directly behind the pupil, is the most light sensitive part of the retina
A. The fovea
B. The neural retina
, C. The Eye
D. Optical Coherence Tomography of the Fovea - CORRECT ANSWER A
Measures neural layer thicknesses relative to age norms so indicative of retinal and brain
lesions
A. The fovea
B. The neural retina
C. The Eye
D. Optical Coherence Tomography of the Fovea - CORRECT ANSWER D
- Oldest evolutionarily Brainstem - retina- superior colliculus à pulvinar - Amygdala (limbic
pathway)
- Dorsal Cortical stream 'vision for action'
(parieto-frontal goal directed network made up of 3 longitudinal bundles (Fasiculi).
- Ventral Cortical stream 'vision for perception'.
A. Brain stem
B. Visual streams
C. Visual Consciousness Networks
D. Cranial Nerves - CORRECT ANSWER B
-Cortically driven, functional goal and stimulus directed networks e.g. to find food, mates,
shelter and avoid predators- visuo-motor goal directed retino- parieto-frontal network
-Subcortical visual networks related to survival and primate fright/flight consciousness and
emotion early in life, retinosuperior colliculus pulvinar- amygdala- limbic system
-Resting state- Default network, seen as the introspection non-goal directed network
-Emotional pathways
A. Brain stem
