imagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam) that provides a demonstration of the neurological exam—a series of tests that can be performed rapidly when a patient is initially brought into an emergency department. The exam can be repeated on a regular basis to keep a record of how and if neurological function changes over time. In what order were the sections of the neurological exam tested in this video, and which section seemed to be left out?
Outline the components of the brain from the least specialized, oldest evolutionary level to the newest, most specialized level.
A concussion is a common sports-related injury involving the brain. Concussions occur when the brain is injured by a jolt or a hit. A number of symptoms can occur based on the affected areas of the brain. Some Areas of the Human Brain Cerebellum Pons Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Occipital lobe Temporal lobe Match the description of the symptom with the number of the affected brain area listed above. Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Symptom: Mood changes (feeling angry or sad) Sensitivity to light Loss of sense of taste Impaired balance
One week after having a stroke, a patient's muscle strength is assessed. It is determined that they have left-sided weakness. Based on this information, what part of the brain was injured? Group of answer choices the stroke is in the right hemisphere, because the left side of the body was affected the stroke is in the left hemisphere, because the left side of the body was affected the stroke is in the left hemisphere, because the right side of the body was affected the stroke is in the right hemisphere, because the right side of the body was affected
When you're looking at an fMRI scan, where you see certain parts of the brain 'lit up', what are you really looking at? areas of the brain where blood was flowing areas of the brain that were active areas of the brain where electrical activity was taking place areas of the brain that were more active during one task relative to another
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that disrupts neural activities and causes recurrent seizures. About 70% of people with epilepsy can be treated with medication to prevent seizures from occurring. If medication does not work, surgery is an option for some patients. One of the procedures involves cutting the brain so that the seizures cannot be spread to other parts of the brain. A common goal of the surgical procedure to treat epileptic seizures is to reduce the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain. By cutting through this structure, an epileptic seizure occurring on one side of the brain will not be spread to the other side. Identify the structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
