PRITE 2025/2026 Exam Questions | 100 Questions with Answers | Neurology, Psychiatry, Neuroanatomy – American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology

This document contains 100 rigorously selected and accurately answered multiple-choice questions for the PRITE (Psychiatry Resident-In-Training Examination) 2025/2026 edition, designed to support psychiatry residents and medical students preparing for board-style assessments. The questions cover a wide spectrum of clinically relevant topics, with an emphasis on neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, clinical psychiatry, and neuroimaging interpretation. The format mimics real PRITE exam standards, offering precise clinical vignettes followed by key diagnostic reasoning. Key topics include: Lesions and localized neurological deficits (e.g., lateral medullary syndrome, right parietal lobe damage) Functional neuroanatomy (e.g., dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, fusiform gyrus, substantia nigra) Psychiatric neurobiology (e.g., amygdala-prefrontal connectivity in bipolar disorder) Dopaminergic, mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways Adult neurogenesis, developmental neurobiology, and the blood-brain barrier Brain circuits implicated in OCD, anxiety, and addiction This document is ideal for: Psychiatry residents (PGY-1 to PGY-4) preparing for the PRITE and board certification Neurology residents reviewing neuroanatomical and neurophysiological principles Medical students enrolled in psychiatry or neurology clerkships Graduate neuroscience students in academic programs Residents preparing for USMLE Step 3 or ABPN certification Applicable to academic and training settings such as: American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) certification programs U.S. psychiatry residency programs (ACGME-accredited) Medical schools with strong clinical neuroscience components With clear, concise answers and high-yield question formats, this document serves as an excellent self-assessment and review tool to build clinical confidence and exam readiness.
