Ozana was born with cataracts, which made her completely blind. When she was 14 years-old she underwent surgery to remove the cataracts, which allowed visual input to be transmitted to her brain for the first time. However, even though the surgery was a success, Ozana’s vision was never fully functional. A) Describe how the features of neural plasticity might help to explain why Ozana’s vision was not restored. B) Propose one factor that might have increased the chance that Ozana would develop the ability to see, and briefly explain why.

Suppose you learn that Mr. Smith had a stroke. Due to the stroke, his speech is NOT impaired. Based on your understanding of how language is processed in the brain and how the two brain hemispheres operate, your best guess would be that _______. A. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the left side of his visual field and has lost control of the left side of his body. B. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the left side of his visual field and has lost control of the right side of his body. C. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the right side of his visual field and has lost control of the right side of his body. D. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the right side of his visual field and has lost control of the left side of his body.
Which is true regarding somatotopic organization? Select one: a. Certain areas of the body have much higher representation in the primary somatosensory cortex than other areas, and these regions will have finer tactile discrimination. b. The representation of a given area of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex is directly proportional to the size of that body area (e.g., the right index finger has less representation than the right thigh). c. The receptive fields for somatosensory neurons are circular and relatively consistent in size across areas of the body, but areas of the body with the finest tactile discrimination have many more neurons representing them in the primary somatosensory cortex. d. There is equal representation of all areas of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex
The motor system is organized differently in the spiral cord compared to the cortex. Choose the statement below that best describes the difference. a. Alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn are mapped according to muscle location, while cortical motor neurons are organized into purposeful movement groups. b. None of the answers. c. Alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn have a different segment-to-segment organization, while cortical motor neurons are mapped similarly to the somatosensory system. d. Alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn do not have a clear organization, while cortical motor neurons are mapped according to muscle location. e. Alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn are organized into complex movement groups, while cortical motor neurons have no clear organization.
Which of the following would best describe the relationship between the medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus and the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus? A) The medial geniculate nucleus is located inferior to the lateral geniculate nucleus. B) The lateral geniculate nucleus is located closer to the midline of the brain compared to the medial geniculate nucleus. C) The medial geniculate nucleus is located closer to the midline of the brain compared to the lateral geniculate nucleus. D) The medial geniculate nucleus is located anterior to the lateral geniculate nucleus.
Which statement about color perception theory is true? The mechanisms involved in opponent-process theory take place earlier in the perceptual process than those involved in trichromatic theory. The processes proposed by both trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory take place in the primary visual cortex. Trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory are both strongly supported by behavioral and physiological evidence. Recently, trichromatic theory has overtaken opponent-process theory as the best explanation of color and hue perception.
Select the statement that explains the neural mechanism underlying the sensation of fast, sharp pain followed by delayed, longer-lasting pain after an injury. a. Fast pain is conducted by mechanoreceptors, whereas delayed pain is conducted by fibers with free nerve endings. b. Fast pain is conducted by free nerve endings in the dermis, whereas delayed pain is conducted by deep nerve endings in the subcutaneous layer. c. The receptive fields differ for the two types of pain sensation such that fast pain fibers have smaller receptive fields than the delayed pain fibers. d. Fast and delayed pain represent the progression of the injury; both are conducted by the same fibers. e. Fast, sharp pain is conducted by myelinated axons, whereas delayed, longer-lasting pain is carried by unmyelinated axons.
The concept of “labeled lines” states that each nerve input to the brain reports only a particular type of information, such as auditory versus visual information. Does this happen because the nature of the nerve fibers conveying the information is unique or because the nature of the brain location where the signals are received is unique? How do you know this?

Auditory cortex to medial geniculate nucleus to inferior colliculus. Inferior colliculus to medial geniculate nucleus to auditory cortex.
