- Outline the components of the brain from the least specialized, oldest evolutionary level to the newest, most specialized level.arrow_forwardWatch 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?arrow_forwardJulio D., who had recently retired, was enjoying an afternoon of playing golf when suddenly he experienced a severe headache and dizziness. These symptoms were quickly followed by numbness and partial paralysis on the tipper right side of his body, accompanied by an inability to speak. After being rushed to the emergency room, Julio was diagnosed as having suffered a stroke. Given the observed neurological impairment, what areas of his brain were affected?arrow_forward
- Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled The Man With Two Brains to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can. If the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant in the majority of people, why would right-handedness be most common?arrow_forwardWhich of the following could be a multimodal integrative area? primary visual coitex premotor coitex hippocampus Wernickes areaarrow_forwardPat and Sam both experienced brain injuries resulting from car accidents. Pat now has difficulty processing auditory information. Sam now has difficulty identifying objects by sight. Although the exact locations of their brain injuries will be different, we can expect that both have sustained damage to the _____ lobe of the cortex.
