Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 4ILQ
Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled “The Man With Two Brains” to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can. If the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant in the majority of people, why would right-handedness be most common?

The limbic system is composed of several interconnected structures including the olfactory bulbs, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, subcallosal gyrus, septal nuclei, mammillary bodies, and the thalamus. Pair each of these structures with their function listed below:
-This limbic area is active when you are trying to memorize the names of brain areas. It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease.
-This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad.
-This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty.
-When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure.
-When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia.
-Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma.
-This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…

- A 78-year-old male presents for a hospital follow-up, post-stroke, two days ago. During the neurologic portion of the physical exam, the patient cannot feel the cotton tip of an applicator as you brush it along his left forehead, cheek, and jaw on the left side of his face. Based on this scenario and phsyical exam findings, which of the following cranial nerves is most likely affected? Answers: A-D A Cranial nerve 9 B Cranial nerve 12 C Cranial nerve 5 D Cranial nerve 7 Oarrow_forwardMr. Lipton is an 80-year-old patient admitted to the neuro floor yesterday. He woke up yesterday with new left-sided hemianopsia (cannot see anything on the left side of his vision/body). The MRI shows a new brain tumor in his occipital lobe. He has no other medical history, and he lives at home with his wife, who has moderate dementia. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. You receive report and learn that Mr. Lipton is pleasant and cooperative but is not patient and does not wait for the staff to come and help him use the bathroom, which causes the chair and bed alarms to go off frequently. What is your priority concern for this patient after hearing report? Why did you choose that as the priority?arrow_forwardYou are walking to class, pondering the intricacies of physiology, when you trip over an uneven place in the sidewalk and fall. Unhurt but embarrassed and angry, you jump up and glance around to see if anyone is watching.

- Please explain what cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is, how it is made (structures involved); and discuss its complete circulation. EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…arrow_forwardThe longitudinal fissure is a deep groove that separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
