In a syndrome called word blindness, a person loses the ability to read (even single letters), although the person can still see and speak. What is a possible neurological explanation? That is, can you imagine a pattern of brain damage that might produce this result?

Internal capsule Caudate Medial lemniscus Substantia nigra Inferior peduncle   A lesion or destruction of which of the following region would result in Parkinson’s Disease? Internal capsule Caudate Medial lemniscus Substantia nigra Inferior peduncle   A lesion or destruction of which of the following region would result in Huntington’s Disease?

Dr. L　is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. He conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. He finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions. If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might he have done? a. He would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups. b. He would have collected fewer types of data. c. He would have likely collected other additional dependent measures. d. He would have likely selected a topic where he expected a small…

Your patient has suffered a stroke affecting the left temporal lobe.  You expect to see:  Left upper and lower facial and right lower facial weakness, right velar elevation. Right upper and lower facial weakness, left lower facial weakness, left velar elevation. Right lower facial weakness and left velar elevation. None of the above.

Why is visual disturbance and poor fine motor control not a symptom of Multiple sclerosis. A) short neural pathways do not contain myelin. B) lightly myelinated nerves are those likely to affected in early stages of the disease. C) oligodendrocytes do not produce myelin. D) the cerebellum affected in MS causing issues with fine motor control due to the loss of the cerebrospinal fluid
