NR 546/ NR546 MIDTERM EXAM ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE 2026/2027 | GRADE A+ | 100% CORRECT (VERIFIED SOLUTIONS) - CHAMBERLAIN. 1. What area of the brain is associated with cognitive symptoms? - ANS Dorsolateral 2. What area of the brain is associated with aggressive, impulsive symptoms? - ANS Orbitofrontal and connections to the amygdala Non-selectively blocks dopamine D2 receptors, specifically in mesolimbic pathway. Improves Positive Symptoms 3. Use: Acute & Chronic Schizophrenia & Psychosis - ANS First generation antipsychotics 4. are associated with movement, intelligence, abstract thinking, the ability to organize, personality, behavior, and emotional control. Traumatic brain injuries can result in personality changes, difficulty 2 NR 546 controlling emotions, and other cognitive functions - ANS Frontal Lobes 5. Damage to the anterior portion may cause asterogenesis, the loss of ability to recognize objects via the sense of touch. This may be experienced by patients with post cerebral vascular accidents - ANS parietal Lobe 6. and involved in short-term memory, speech, auditory signals, and smell recognition. It identifies "what" things are - object identification. It contains the limbic system, amygdala, and hippocampus. - ANS Temporal Lobe 7. Disorders from this lobe include dementia, affective disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). - ANS Temporal Lobe 8. controls visual processing. Damage to this lobe results in the inability to form visual memories. Bilateral lobe damage results in the 3 NR 546 inability to recognize items by sight even though vision is normal. - ANS Occipital Lobe 9. This separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. - ANS Central sulcus 10.This controls the communication between the two brain hemispheres. Is involved in attention, impulse control, and emotion regulation. It integrates impulses from both sides of the brain. - ANS corpus callosum nsible for proprioception, is the home of the somatic senses. This part of the brain helps a person to identify spatial relationships, interpret pain and touch in the body, and identify and give meaning to objects - ANS Parietal Lobe (Middle Brain) 12.This is located deep in the temporal lobes and is involved in anxiety and memory, and shifting short-term to long-term memory. - ANS Hippocampus 4 NR 546 13.This is located deep in the temporal lobes and involved in emotional regulation and perception of odors. All smells travel directly to this structure. Cooking smells can elicit memories of childhood events and holidays. A traumatic event can result in the formation of the fear response, causing the fight or flight reflex within the autonomic nervous system and affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis causing the release of stress hormones - ANS Amygdala 14.This is an egg-shaped structure involved in sensory organ and motor command processing. All sensory systems except for the olfaction process through the thalamus, which is responsible for processing all external information - ANS Thalamus
