In humans, functions like language, decision making, and conscious thought are governed by the:a. thalamusb. cerebral cortexc. cerebellumd. cerebrum

Assume we can record spatially related neural activity from the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of human. You are on vacation in London and have a map to find the Tower of London (you also do not have a smartphone). What spatially related activity would you see in the entorhinal cortex as you are walking around London with your map with Cartesian coordinates? What activity pattern would you see in the hippocampus as you were moving toward your destination?

1. Bobby was hiking through the forest until he stopped and smelled the scent of a campfire. If we were to look at his brain, where would the olfactory nerve project in the amygdala? a. Basal nucleus b. Medial nucleus c. Lateral nucleus d. Central nucleus 2. How would you define fear? a. A direct response to a pleasant memory b. One of the basic emotions c. A physical reaction to pain d. A phantom sensation 3. How frequent is SAD a. One in two people has SAD b. One in four people has SAD c. One in approximately eight people has SAD d. One in approximately fifty people has SAD

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Discuss approaches used to study the disease, giving examples of specific techniques and models, and evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. Discuss possible reasons for why effective treatments have not yet been developed. Use figures and diagrams to illustrate your answer. (This is a neuroscience question)

You notice that when your friend walks his movements appear as though he has too much to drink even though he hasn’t consumed any alcohol recently.  You suspect that he may have a lesion to the following motor system. a. The motor cortex. b. The basal ganglia. c. The spinal cord. d. The reticular formation. e. The cerebellum.

The major reason the cortex is so convoluted in humans is                    . A. to accomadate the large surface area of the cortex inside the skull B. the wrinkles protect the cortex from stretching C. the cortex shrinks during development D. the folds allow divisions of the cortex to communicate with each other

5) The division of the nervous system responsible for the preparation of the body in case of emergency(i.e. fight or flight) is thea. central nervous sYstem.b. parasympathetic nervous system. c. sympathetic nervous sYstem.d. none of the above. 6) Neurons that carry impulses toward effector organs and muscles are calleda. motor neurons.b. afferent neurons.c. sensory neurons. d. both a and b.

You are performing an electrophysiological experiment in which you present patients with a large variety of visual stimuli and test the response of individual neurons to these stimuli. You find a neuron that only responds whenever different images of Jennifer Aniston are presented. Where do you have your recording electrode?   A. The posterior parietal cortex   B. Area V4 of the visual cortex   C. The inferior temporal lobe   D. The posterior temporal lobe   E. The principal sulcus of the prefrontal corte

1b) The process of myelination results in an increase in white matter. Myelination happens for all brain regions. Because of increases in myelination i. At different times; neural signals can travel through the brain faster ii. At different times; neurogenesis is improved iii. At the same time; neurogenesis is improved iv. At the same time; neural signals can travel through the brain faster 1c) Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity? i. Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation ii. The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain. iii. Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life. iv. All of the above

10)The lobe of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for problem-solving is thea. occipital lobe.b. temporal lobe.c. frontal lobe.d. parietal lobe.
