To determine:
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (
Introduction:
The limbic system is an area of the brain involved with memory and emotion. It includes the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, and cingulated gyrus. Hippocampus is present in the forebrain. It plays an essential role in the formation of declarative memories. Declarative memory is a form of long-term memory. It includes the collection of memories such as events, facts, figures, and locations. The amygdala plays an important role in the perception of emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness and also controls aggression. It is located in the temporal lobe of the brain. It is often overactive in people suffering from panic disorders.

- in patients with ptsd the hippocampus is generally less active and the amygdala is more active in response to emotional stimuli true or falsearrow_forwardResearchers 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement regarding extinction of learned response is INCORRECT? a.) Extinction of fear/emotional response is often impaired in PTSD b.) The extinguished response is suppressed and can often recover without the need to relearn it c.) It may occur when conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without unconditioned stimulus d.) The extinguished response is forgotten and can be relearnedarrow_forward
- Some survivors of disastrous events have post-traumaticstress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms include nightmaresabout the experience and suddenly feeling as if the eventis recurring. Brain-imaging studies of people with PTSDshowed that their hippocampus was shrunken and theiramygdala unusually active. Given these changes, whatother brain functions might be disrupted in PTSD?arrow_forwardInflammation is at the root of many diseases. What do we know about the brain and inflammation or neuroinflammation? Give at least two different examples. What is the possibility of providing treatments for brain disorders that are affected by inflammation?arrow_forwardAt high doses of stimulants, people who abuse stimulants may exhibit behaviors that mimic schizophrenia. How would you describe the behaviors they exhibit?. What changes neurochemically may be the cause of these behaviors?arrow_forward
- In the domains of Schizophrenia, what is the type of hallucinations takes place in the movie of A Beautiful mind (2001)? Please specify two to three TYPE hallucinations.What part in the movie did you observe this manifestation? PLEASE describe in what scene did you see the hallucinations part.TYPES OF HALLUCINATIONS- Auditory,- Visual- Tactile,- Gustatory,- Olfactory- Please specify two to three TYPE OF HALLUCINATIONarrow_forward1) Describe what happens in your nervous system when you touch a hot frying pan. 2) Contrast the functions of the autonomic and somatosensory nervous systems. 3) Contrast schizophrenia with major depression in two (2) ways. 4) Contrast Alzheimer's Disease with Parkinson's Disease in two (2) ways. 5) Someone has a missing or broken corpus callosum. What behaviors would you expect from that person? Why? 6) Why do we need electrical synapses? 7) Can the central nervous system make new cells? Where and why?arrow_forwardIn the domains of Schizophrenia, what is the type of Disorganized Motor Behavior takes place in the movie of A Beautiful mind (2001)? Please choose two to three TYPE Disorganized Motor Behavior. What part in the movie did you observe this manifestation? PLEASE describe in what scene did you see the Disorganized Motor Behavior part.TYPES OF Disorganized Motor Behavior- Catatonia- Echopraxia- Tics- Spasm- Compulsive- Waxy Flexibility- Parkinson-like symptoms- Akathisia- Dyskinesia- Apraxia- Catatonic Stupor- Catatonic Excitement- Hyperkinesia- Catalepsy- Cataplexy= Please choose two to three TYPE OF Disorganized Thinking that observed in the A Beautiful mind (2001).arrow_forward
- Given that you are a medical doctor (Obstetrician-gynecologist). You have a patient that has a newly -born child with SPINA BIFIDA. How will you explain the causes and effects of this condition to the parent?arrow_forwardAccording to Squire, what brain areas receive the majority of amygdala outputs during an emotional event? a. The hippocampus subdivisions that controls reward-based responses b. The occipital cortex, the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus c. Cortical areas that process behaviorally relevant sensory perceptions d. Subcortical areas that control autonomic and motor responses e. The motor cortex, the cerebellum, and the thalamusarrow_forwardLong-term stress and sleep deprivation is associated with memory loss and negative thoughts.Subjects in a research study were shown images after they received either a full night’s rest or limited rest. The subjects were shown negative, positive, and neutral images. The subjects with limited rest remembered most of the negative images but only half of the positive and neutral images.The structures of the brain affected by long-term stress and sleep deprivation are, respectively: Select one: a. Long-Term Stress Sleep Deprivation Temporal lobe Frontal lobe b. Long-Term Stress Sleep Deprivation Temporal lobe Parietal lobe c. Long-Term Stress Sleep Deprivation Frontal lobe Occipital lobe d. Long-Term Stress Sleep Deprivation Frontal lobe Parietal lobearrow_forward
