Vestibulocerrebellumcontrols balance and coordinates eye movements anterior cingulate cortexcompeting ideas and strategies are compared (move from incoming puck or take the hit for the team); Corporate strategy is executed spinocerrebellumreceives sensory info from spinal cord as well as somatic and motor cortex and based on this information controls execution of movement and tone cerebrocerebellumreceives input from wide areas of cerebral cortex but does not received peripheral sensory...

what is the main function of the limbic system - emotionally significant stimuli activate SENSORY pathways that trigger the HYPOTHALAMUS to modulate the ANS response (heart rate, blood pressure...) - accumpanying ANS changes to emotional response (amygdala → hippocampus → fornix) - information about emotionally significant stimuli also conveyed to the cortex directly (from hypothalamus) and indirectly (via cingulate) to integrate a motor response to these stimuli - memory and learning als...

Risk of Schizophrenia in monozygotic twins is? - ANSWER 46-50% Family hx risk of schizophrenia - ANSWER 10x risk with 1st degree relative brain changes in schizophrenia - ANSWER increase in ventricular volume (enlarged cerebral ventricles) Hippocampus volume decrease, 4% smaller Decreased electrical activity in frontal lobes Decrease glutamate and GABA release. Decreased total brain volume functional neuroimaging findings of schizophrenia - ANSWER Abnormal function of frontal corti...

Cerebral Cortex - ANSWER-The outermost layer of the cerebral hemisphere which is composed of gray matter. Cortices are asymmetrical. Both hemispheres are able to analyze sensory data, perform memory functions, learn new information, form thoughts and make decisions. Left Hemisphere - ANSWER-Sequential Analysis: systematic, logical interpretation of information. Interpretation and production of symbolic information: language, mathematics, abstraction and reasoning. Memory stored in a language ...

ALL Webpath and Quizzes for Exam 3 Combined 2023 with complete solution @ STUVATE –STUVIA A 25-year-old man falls while skateboarding and strikes the left side of his head against a concrete retaining wall. On physical examination only a minor scalp abrasion is present at the site of the impact, with minimal bleeding that stops in 3 minutes. He is initially alert following this accident, but then became unconscious 30 minutes later. A head CT scan reveals a convex, lens-shaped area of hemorr...

Roger Sperry - ANSWER-studied split brain patients; showed that left/right hemispheres have different functions. Michael Gazzaniga - ANSWER-1939-present; Field: cognition (neuroscience); Studied of the neural basis of mind with primary responsibility for initiating human split-brain research. In his subsequent work he has made important advances in our understanding of functional lateralization in the brain and how the cerebral hemispheres communicate with one another. Paul Broca - ANSWER-...
