Memory impairment is to Alzheimer's disease as _____________
is to Parkinson's disease:
A. bradykinesia/akinesia
B. dyspraxia
C. hyperkinesia
D. hypophonia - ANSWER-A.
Bradykinesia/akinesia refer to slowness and absence of
movement, respectively, and is one of the primary symptoms
of Parkinson's disease. Other primary symptoms of PD are
tremor or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face;
rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; and postural
instability, or impaired balance and coordination. Other
symptoms may include depression and other emotional
changes; sleep disruptions; skin problems; difficulty in
swallowing, chewing, and speaking; and urinary problems or
constipation. Motor planning or "praxis" is the ability of the
brain to conceive, organize, and carry out a sequence of
unfamiliar actions. Praxis enables us to deal with the

physical environment in an adaptive manner. In Dyspraxic
Syndrome there is a reduced ability to carry out non-learned
movements, even though adequate physical and conceptual
capacity exists. Dyspraxia (b.) is a lifelong disorder that affec
Which of the following is an endogenous opiate?
A. dopamine
B. catecholamine
C. endorphins
D. heroin - ANSWER-C.
Endorphins are endogenous (produced inside the body)
peptides which activate opiate receptors in the brain and
block the release of Substance P, which results in decreased
perception of pain. The term "endorphin" is an abbreviation
of "endogenous morphine". The only other opiate listed in
the choices is heroin ("D") which is derived from the opium
poppy - an exogenous substance.
Cortisol is frequently used as measure of:
A. stress
,3|Page
B. anorexia and Bulimia
C. steroid abuse
D. cortical functioning - ANSWER-A.
Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex,
which is located near the kidneys. It stimulates the liver to
convert fat and protein into glucose for energy. Under stress,
cortisol level rises to provide the energy needed to cope with
the stress. However, chronic stress results in chronically
elevated levels of cortisol which is believed to cause several
health consequences. If you incorrectly guessed choice "C,"
note that although cortisol is a steroid, it is not one of the
common steroids of abuse.
Which of the following devices measures cerebral blood flow with
a color scale?
A. X-Ray
B. CT
C. MRI
D. SPECT - ANSWER-D.
, 4|Page
The SPECT (single proton emission computed tomography)
(as well as the PET or positron emission tomography) is
used to measure blood flow in the brain using radioactive
isotopes. It is, therefore, used to assess brain functioning
(rather than structure). You can remember that this device
uses color scale imaging since the acronym "SPECT " can
also be thought of as an abbreviation for "spectrum." The
other imaging devices (X-Ray, CT, and MRI) are used for
identifying structures.
Following a stroke, a person cannot understand language.
Although the person can speak clearly, his speech makes no
sense. The person is most likely suffering from:
A. Wernicke's aphasia.
B. Broca's aphasia.
C. conduction aphasia.
D. global aphasia. - ANSWER-A.
Wernicke's area, in the temporal lobe of the brain, is involved
with language comprehension. Lesions in the temporal lobe
may produce Wernicke's aphasia, which is associated with
impaired comprehension of language, fluent aphasia (clear
