Which statement about fMRI is most accurate?
Which statement about fMRI is most accurate?
It shows causation
It measures blood oxygen changes
It measures blood oxygen changes
A person survives a head injury and afterward becomes impulsive, struggles to plan ahead, and makes poor social decisions despite normal vision and movement. Damage to which function is most likely responsible for these changes?
Visual processing
Balance and coordination
Impulse control
Basic reflexive responses
After several months of intensive soccer training, a high school athlete shows faster reaction times and smoother coordination, even though brain scans show no increase in neuron count. Which neural change most likely explains this improvement?
Growth of additional neuron cell bodies in the motor cortex
Increased myelination of axons connecting motor and sensory regions
Enlargement of the occipital lobes responsible for visual processing
Greater production of neurotransmitters in the cerebellum
After a mild stroke, a patient can feel a tap on their right hand but cannot voluntarily move that hand. Which explanation best accounts for this pattern?
Damage posterior to the central fissure
Damage anterior to the central fissure
Disrupted communication between hemispheres
Reduced myelination in occipital cortex
A violinist practices daily for years and shows faster, smoother finger movements without gaining new neurons. Which neural change best explains this?
Increased gray matter volume in the cerebellum
Stronger white matter connections between motor regions
Expansion of the parietal lobes
Increased neurotransmitter release at synapses
Which person would most likely struggle with planning, inhibition, and social judgment after brain injury?
A dancer with cerebellar damage
A student with occipital lobe damage
A patient with prefrontal cortex damage
A musician with temporal lobe damage
During brain surgery, stimulation of one small cortical area causes movement only in the patient’s fingers. This best demonstrates that the motor cortex is:
Uniformly organized
Bilaterally redundant
Somatotopically mapped
Functionally undifferentiated
A patient speaks in short, effortful phrases but understands spoken language well and becomes frustrated when trying to talk. Damage is most likely in the:
Right temporal lobe
Left frontal lobe
Left parietal lobe
Right occipital lobe
Which statement best captures the difference between gray and white matter?
Gray matter speeds signals; white matter processes meaning
White matter contains cell bodies; gray matter connects regions
Gray matter processes information; white matter transmits signals
White matter enables reflexes; gray matter enables sensation

Primary motor cortex
Prefrontal cortex
Primary somatosensory cortex
Occipital cortex
