neuro 3050 exam 3 Questions and All
Solved Solutions 2026/2027 Updated.
phrenology - Answer different areas of the brain are responsible for different functions
association areas - Answer these are localized areas found in all cortices
prefrontal - Answer this part of the association area is made up of the ventromedial and
dorsolateral regions
ventromedial region - Answer this region of the prefrontal association area has heavy
interconnections with the limbic system via the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus (aka emotions)
emotions - Answer what does the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus regulate
dorsolateral region - Answer this region of the prefrontal association area contains executive
functions such as decision making, planning, insight, foresight, and working memory
dorsolateral - Answer this is one of the last areas of mature during neurodevelopment
personality, working memory - Answer the dorsolateral prefrontal association area maintains
an individuals's _______, _____ _____, and an appreciation of self in the world; the planning
part of this brain changes as people mature
underactive - Answer the dorsolateral prefrontal association area is _____ when a person
suffers from chronic schizophrenia, as well as impaired restraint, disordered thoughts, and
inability for appropriate action
lobotomy - Answer surgery to disconnect the dorsolateral prefrontal area from brain; used for
severe psychotic depression
emotionally blunted - Answer the main side effect of a lobotomy was that people were _____
_____, meaning spontaneity, responsiveness, and self control were reduced, along with loss of
ambition, etc.
phineas gage - Answer a man who had a severe injury through his brain which basically caused
him to have a lobotomy; his personality, reasoning, and capacity to understand was destroyed
(may have had slight recovery though)
,parietal association area - Answer body image issues stem from this association area, located
caudal to primary sensory cortex
contralateral - Answer lesion to the parietal association area results in problems paying
attention to objects on the _______ side of the lesion
apraxia - Answer caused by damage to the left side of the parietal association area or
supplementary area, is the inability to perform purposeful action or an inability to make proper
use of a known object
aphasia - Answer language disorders caused by issues to the left side of the parietal
association area; there are several types including Broca's and Wernicke's
neglect syndrome - Answer associated with damage to the right side of parietal association
areas, is the inability to attend to objects including one's own body despite all other senses
being intact
sequential motor activity - Answer apraxia results in the inability to use an item for the correct
purpose and executing _____ _____ ____ despite having normal muscle function
5 and 7 - Answer damage to Broca's areas __ and ___ disrupts the ability to carry out proper
sequence of movements, which typically projects to the prefrontal cortex
egocentric - Answer this kind of neglect syndrome (caused by a lesion in the right parietal
association area) is when one half of the visual field is ignored
allocentric - Answer this kind of neglect syndrome (caused by a lesion in the right parietal
association area) is when the left side of all objects is ignored
broca's area - Answer part of the brain that controls the ability to produce speech, located
near the motor cortex in frontal lobe
wernicke's area - Answer part of the brain that understands speech; located in temporal lobe
near auditory cortex
superior longitudinal fasciculus - Answer Intrahemispheric- links broca's and wernicke's
language areas
, receptive aphasia - Answer a lesion to this wernicke's causes this kind of aphasia, which means
a deficit in comprehension but good spontaneous speech
motor aphasia - Answer a lesion to this broca's area causes this kind of aphasia, means good
comprehension but no intelligible speech (may be scrambled)
conduction aphasia - Answer lesion to superior longitudinal fasciculus causes this kind of
aphasia, which is good comprehension and spontaneous speech, but poor repetition
global aphasia - Answer this kind of aphasia occurs when both broca's and wernicke's areas
are lesioned; poor repetition and no comprehension
left - Answer this hemisphere is dominant in most individuals, and is related to language,
speech, writing, and calculation
right - Answer this hemisphere is nondominant and adds emotional and tonal qualities of
language such as rhythm. this is called "prosody"
prosody - Answer adding vocal influxion (opposite of monotone), is based in the right
hemisphere
left - Answer someone who learned ASL can have difficulty signing if there is damage to this
hemisphere
parieto-occipital fissure - Answer a fissure that defines the border between the occipital and
parietal lobes, is very deep and seen best midsaggitally
calcarine sulcus - Answer Sulcus in the occipital lobe, where the primary visual cortex is
centred
what - Answer the ___ pathway connects the association area of the visual cortex to the
temporal lobe
where - Answer the _____ pathway connects the association area of the visual cortex to the
parietal lobe
premotor area - Answer pathway from the ______ _____ of the frontal lobe is essential for
visually guided movements
