Provide a short comment regarding tongue twisters and neuroscience. (For example : Why are tongue twisters so difficult to say? Are there any benefits to using a tongue twister? Which region of the brain produces speech? Which muscles are involves?)

Steven had a stroke resulting in his having difficulty speaking. Ruth suffered a severe nerve injury to her left arm while working, but after a few weeks regained full use of her arm. Why is Steven having difficulty regaining his speaking ability; whereas, Ruth has regained full function in her arm. Base your answer on nervous system regeneration and repair.  Please respond with 1-2 paragraphs.  (Hint: Section 12.10) Even though both injuries are nervous system injuries. There is a major difference between these two injuries: Central Nervous System versus Peripheral Nervous System!

Which of these pathways is not an ascending (sensory) pathway?a. spinothalamic tractb. corticospinal tractc. dorsal-column/medial-lemniscal systemd. trigeminothalamic tracte. spinocerebellar tract

You are working in a neurolinguistics research lab, doing studies on typical language processing in adults. When your subjects step into the sound booth and begin hearing recorded speech, in which regions of the brain do you expect to see activity? Describe the sequence and function of these areas during the listening activity.

Neuroscience   1) Describe the role of brainstem nuclei in descending motor control   2) Describe the properties and organization of the primary motor cortex   Please provide pictures with your explanation.  This should help me prepare for an upcoming exam. I need to understand what is going and I'm a visual person!!

Match the structure in the left column with its description in the right column. Drag and drop options on the right-hand side to swap positions and match with items on the left. Reordering may cause items on the right- hand side to swap positions.

Explain how the cerebrumof the brain is connected both functionally and structurally to other parts of the brain. Give a thorough explanation of the function of this structure of the brain.  There is a story about a man that had a metal rod go through his face (and brain) and yet survived. Explain how someone could have such a traumatic brain injury, but still survive. In addition, explain what would happen if a similar accident (trauma) were to happen to the cerebrum. This not a part of a homework assignment

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)
