(T/F): Myelin promotes the dissipation of the action potential so that it does not need to be regenerated as frequently.

(T/F): In myelinated axons, nodes of Ranvier are the only sites where ion exchange across the membrane occurs.

Which of the following are the three core functions of glial cells?

(T/F): A Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon at a time.

The internal carotid artery branches into two of the major cerebral arteries: the _____ and _____.

(T/F): The anterior communicating artery links the internal carotid arteries with a posterior cerebral artery.

All of the following lobes are able to be seen in a midsagittal view of the brain EXCEPT FOR:

With repetition of a task, the number of active regions in the brain is reduced. Eventually, when a motor task has been learned, only a small, distinct regions of the brain show increased activity during performance of the task. This describes _____.

(T/F): LTP is the conversion of silent synapses to active synapses, while LTD occurs when an active synapse is converted to a silent synapse.

(T/F): Plasticity is not considered to be maladaptive or have harmful consequences because it is essential for neural recovery following an injury or insult.

(T/F): Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied to the motor cortex and other brain areas involved in motor learning can enhance or inhibit motor learning and memory formation.

Glial scars, formed by astrocytes and microglia, physically block axonal regeneration in the _____.

Functional regeneration of axons occurs more frequently in the peripheral system than in the CNS owing to the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) by _____.

Select all of the following structures that are visible in a horizontal cut of the brain.

(T/F): For Guillian-Barre syndrome, occupational therapy is directed at activities of daily living, including self-care.

People with _____ are encouraged to avoid high temperatures and excessive exertion because increases in body temperature may interfere with the activity of membrane proteins in axons, further disabling action potential conduction.

For mild cases of _____, often occupational therapy treatment of full-time splinting and a formal education program constitute sufficient intervention.

In _____, the knowledge of how to perform a skilled movement is lost.

(T/F): Arnold-Chiari type I is almost always associated with another disorder - incomplete closure of the neural tube, called myelomeningocele.

_____ may result in problems with tongue and facial weakness, decreased hearing, dizziness, weakness of lateral eye movements, and problems with coordination of movement.

Clinical signs of _____ include progressive lower limb weakness, deterioration of walking, back pain, leg pain, excessive muscle resistance to stretch, increasing scoliosis, increasing foot deformity, and deterioration in bladder and bowel function.

(T/F): Growing into deficit is common in CP.

In _____ hydrocephalus, the ventricular system is intact and a blockage exists beyond the fourth ventricle.

Formation of the nervous system occurs during the _____ stage of development.

All of the following are responses of the parasympathetic nervous system EXCEPT for:

(T/F): Bladder relaxation and fast heartbeat are responses of the sympathetic nervous system.

A(n) _____ is a blood clot that formed elsewhere and were transmitted by the blood to a new location.

If there is damage to the PCA, what cognition, language, or memory deficit might an individual experience?

If there is damage to the basilar artery, what cognition, language, or memory deficit might an individual experience?

The _____ is located within the central sulcus and on the adjacent post-central gyrus.

What area of the cerebrum learns goal-oriented actions and prepares, selects, and initiates movements?

What area of the cerebrum integrate tactile and proprioceptive information obtained from manipulating an object?

_____ involves the injection of radioactive isotopes and is able to measure blood flow, glucose metabolism, and oxygen consumption.

(T/F): fMRI measures gray matter activity and is considered safer when compared to a PET scan.

The anterior inferior cerebellar artery stems off of which of the following arteries?

The posterior inferior cerebellar artery stems off of which of the following arteries?

(T/F): MRI provides better resolution of nervous system anatomy compared with a CT scan.

(T/F): Pathology is generally more evident on T2 scans compared to T1 scans.

THIS technology is being used to determine the effects of brain injury and degree of neuroplasticity following rehabilitation.

If you are examining an MRI image of the brain showing plaques in the white matter and a considerable reduction in gray matter volume, the individual is most likely diagnosed with ______.

_____, the principal fast excitatory transmitter of the central nervous system, has powerful excitatory effects on virtually every region of the brain, eliciting neural changes that occur with learning and development.

All of the following are amines EXCEPT for:

_____ affects motor activity, cognition, and behavior. It is associated with seeking a reward and this motivates certain behaviors.

(T/F): Serotonin is essential in producing the freeze, fight, or flight reaction to stress.

Where is histamine concentrated within the diencephalon?
