The diseased brain of an Alzheimer's patient is characterized by:   A. Clumps of amyloid plaque protein that inhibit neural transmission   B. Neurofibrillary tangles   C. Senescent junctions   D. Both A and B

Which of the following statements best describes the appearance of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's Disease?     Amyloid plaques do first appear in neocortical structures spreading to basal ganglia structures, while neurofibrillary tangles are first found in locus coeruleus spreading to the neocortex.     Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles do first appear in basal ganglia structures and then spread progressively to neocortical structures.     Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are evenly spread throughout basal ganglia, diencephalic and neocortical structures.     Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles do first appear in neocortical structures and then spread progressively to basal ganglia structures.

I need the answer as soon as possible

Researchers have discovered several neurological issues in the brains of patients with affective (mood) disorders. Which of the following neurological anomalies is found in bipolar patients during a manic episode, but NOT in patients experiencing depression? A) Reduced brain tissue in prefrontal areas and hippocampus. B) Increased metabolic activity in part of the prefrontal cortex. C) Enlargement of the amygdala and hypothalamus, leading to greater stress responses and higher cortisol levels. D) Reductions in overall brain activity, and especially in prefrontal regions and other circuits that regulate emotions.

list and briefly explain one cause of neuron degeneration in Alzheimer's disease

There are major reciprocal connections between the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus and the  a. Frontal lobe b. Parietal lobe  c. Temporal lobe d, Occipital lobe

In ALS the neurons that degenerate are in (select all that apply) A) the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. B) the cerebellum. C). the ventral horn of the spinal cord. D) D) the m the motor cortex. E) the basal ganglia.

A brain parasite attacks only the grey matter of the cerebrum, where would you find damage done by this parasite?   Group of answer choices a. Only in the relatively thin, superficial layer of the cerebral cortex. b. In the neurosoma of neurons found in the cerebral cortex. c. In both the superficial cortex and in deeper basal nuclei. d. In the cerebral cortex of the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes but not in the insular lobe.
