Associated with speech

Brocas area
Term 2 of 116
Which brain structure is most associated with long term memory?
amygdala
thalamus
hippocampus
cerebellum
,Term 3 of 116
Is located on the sides of the brain 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. There are multiple pathways within this which affect object
identification and language comprehension, including the ability to understand semantics. A
dominant __________ lesion can present as Wernicke's aphasia. Disorders of this structure include
dementia, affective disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD).
amygdala
hippocampus
temporal lobe
frontal lobe
Term 4 of 116
The middle part of the brain, responsible 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. Damage to the anterior portion of this lobe
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.
thalamus
parietal lobe
frontal lobe
mesolimbic dopamine pathway
,Term 5 of 116
one of the key neurotransmitters that psychotropic drugs target. Within the central nervous
system, I affect arousal, motivation, attention, learning, and REM sleep. I work within the
parasympathetic nervous system too. I can make you sweat and salivate. Did you see my
muscles? Substances that block me can paralyze you because I am the link between the brain
and muscles.
Dopamine
Norepinephrine
Acetylcholine
Serotonin

are chemicals released by neurons to send communication across synaptic clefts to other
neurons. Many psychiatric disorders and client symptoms occur from an excess, deficiency, or
imbalance of this because it can impact human emotion and behavior.

, Term 8 of 116
A 44-year-old woman is initiated on an atypical antipsychotic for the treatment of schizophrenia.
Regarding affinity, atypical antipsychotics demonstrate which of the following most often?
Atypical antipsychotics primarily cause high extrapyramidal symptoms.
Atypical antipsychotics are ineffective against positive symptoms.
Atypical antipsychotics only target negative symptoms.
Atypical antipsychotics have equal positive symptom antipsychotic actions and low
extrapyramidal symptoms.
Term 9 of 116
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
