100% Verified Graded A+
1. Hyperventilation
Answer: What activation is useful for detecting absence seizures?
2. sleep activation
Answer: What activation is useful for detecting benign rolandic epilepsy?
3. Anterior Cerebral Artery
Answer: Which artery supplies the frontal pole and mesial cortex of frontal/parietal lobes?
4. CN VIII (Vestibulocochlear)
Answer: Which nerve is attected with neurofibromatosis/Von Recklinhausen's?
5. ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone)
Answer: What drug treats infantile spasms?
6. Active Sleep
Answer: in infants shows REM, irregular breathing, smile, grimace, sucking, brief apnea,
decreased tonic
,7. Activite Moyenne
Answer: is low voltage irregular theta and delta waves, 34-37 weeks
8. PLED's
Answer: What pattern would you expect after a CVA?
9. frontal; contralateral
Answer: Adversive seizures are from the lobe with a focus
10. Neck rotation and conjugate gaze deviation in direction contralateral to epileptic
focus
Answer: What does the body do during an adversive seizure?
11. parietal
Answer: Agraphia occurs from damage to the dominant lobe
12. Aicardi
Answer: syndrome occurs in females.absence/agenesis of corpus callosum. Infantile spasms early
onset. Often asymmetric, dittuse EEG w/ suppression bursts and/or atypical hypsarrhythmia.
13. EEG normal 90% time, with increased photomyoclonic reactivity. Minor
theta/beta anomalies possible
Answer: What EEG changes might you see with alcohol withdrawal?
14. voltage/alpha diminish, theta then delta intrude w/ sharps, asymmetries may
,develop, less sleep signs
Answer: What EEG changes would you see w/ Alzheimer's?
15. amoxycillin
Answer: Which anti-biotic can cause seizures which are unresponsive to AED's?
16. Ampere
Answer: What is the unit of current?
17. olfactory; gustatory
Answer: Amygdalar temp lobe sz can have and hallucinations
18. generalized slowing (hypoxia)
Answer: ALS has normal EEG until weakness makes it harder to breathe, so the EEG then has
19. angiography
Answer: is x-ray with contrast media
20. anterograde
Answer: amnesia is loss of memory for periods of time following accident
21. increased theta/beta
Answer: Antihistamines commonly cause what changes in the EEG at the therapeutic levels?
22. Antipsychotic drugs
Answer: Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), haloperidol (haldol), clozapine (clozaril), and risperi- done are examples of what kind
, of drug?
23. apraxia
Answer: is the inability to perform purposeful movement though no muscular or sensory disturbance is
present
24. between the third to fourth ventricle
Answer: Where is the aqueduct of sylvius located?
25. Area 6
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the premotor area?
26. Area 17
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the primary visual area (most forms walls of deep calcarine sulcus)?
27. Area 18 and Area 19
Answer: Which two Brodmann's area is the visual association areas?
28. Area 41
Answer: Which Brodmann's area is the primary auditory area?
