Summary Introduction
To review:
The left prefrontal lobe and left parietal lobe are most affected by sleep-deprivation.
Introduction:
The cerebral cortex is divided into the parietal, frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The parietal lobe receives and processes the sensory information. The frontal lobe has its function in problem solving, decision making, and planning. The occipital lobe sends information to the parietal and temporal lobes and the temporal lobe has a role in memory, emotion, hearing, and language.

Suggest two reasons why people had the drug injected into the cerebrospinal fluid rather than taking a pill containing the drug.
Based on the evidence from recordings of single neurons in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex in rodents by Nobel Laureates John O'Keefe, May-Brit Moser and Edvard Moser, one would predict that patients like H.M. (whose bilateral medial temporal lobes were removed) would have problems with

The average posterior hippocampus of London cabbies, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging, was larger than that in a comparable group of London bus operators, who follow a fixed route and so do not have to learn a detailed map of the city (Maguire et al. 2000). In addition, the more years of taxi driving, the larger the posterior hippocampus (Maguire et al. 2006).

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.

In the effect of mitoxantrone on histopathological changes in the brain section of the results section the authors wrote “In Fig. 4, the demyelination of (A-C) the cerebellum and (F-H) brain stem was evaluated using LFB staining and median scored 2.5 in both sedentary and exercised untreated EAE rats indicating extensive demyelination.” Why was demyelination evaluated in this study? B. In the effect of mitoxantrone on histopathological changes in the brain section of the results section the authors wrote “Post-administration of mitoxantrone to sedentary and exercised groups smaller patches of demyelination with microcyst formation and lymphocytic infiltrates were seen; and bare unmyelinated axons were fewer (Figs. 3D, E, I, J and 4D, E, I, J).” Based on this quote, what is mitoxantrone doing exactly/directly?arrow_forward
