Q

neglect

A

results after stroke usually, tend to ignore things on the left because of the way the two hemispheres attend to the visual fields. right attends to both, so knocking out right leads to left neglect

Q

amnesia

retrograde
anterograde
temporal gradient
fugue

A

memory loss

retro - loss of memory before accident

antero- can’t form new memories post-accident

temp gradient- loss of memory right before and right after accident, looks like gradient where most loss is around time of accident

fugue- dissociation, psychological state w/ no organic cause

Q

cortical blindness

A

subcortical processing of vision

22
Q

blind sight

A

think you can see, but no awareness

23
Q

neuron structure

A

axon, soma, dendrites, myelin, electrical signals, resting potential, neurotransmitters

24
Q

meninges

A

dura mater (tough), arachnoid mater (spider web-y), pia mater (tender)

25
Q

cerebrospinal fluid

A

liquid that fills the ventricles and suspends the brain

Also runs through the spinal tract and menages

26
Q

blood-brain barrier

A

tight junctions that are only permeable to fat soluble molecules

27
Q

white matter

A

paler tissue, mostly nerve fibers with myelin sheath. loss of this usually impacts processing speed

Inner, sub-cortex

28
Q

gray matter

A

tissue consisting of dendrites, glial cells, synpases, capillaries

Outer, neocortex, information created

29
Q

corpus callosum

A

connecting fibers between two hemispheres

Separation causes disconnection syndrome

30
Q

anterior commissure

A

connects the frontal lobes

31
Q

motor and somatosensory strip

A

motor -

somatosensory -

32
Q

sulci and gyri

A

sulci (grooves, like the valleys, sulci sounds like sunken)

gyri (bumps, like the peaks)

33
Q

Stroke

A

interruption of blood supply to the brain

34
Q

Alzheimer’s

A

progressive disease that destroys memory, people generally still have their social graces intact

35
Q

bvFTD

A

behavioral variant frontotemporal disorder

characterized by early and progressive changes in personality, emotional blunting and/or loss of empathy.

36
Q

Parkinson’s

A

lack of movement, caused by death of the substantia nigra leading to less dopamine

37
Q

Huntington’s

A

excessive movements, inherited disorder

38
Q

Hydrocephalus

A

build up of fluid in the brain

39
Q

Seizures

A

abnormal electrical activity

40
Q

Callosotomy
resection
psychosurgery

A

cutting corpus callosum
cut out tumor
lobotomies

41
Q

Multiple Sclerosis

A

degredation of the myelin sheath, processing speed slowed

42
Q

Autism Spectrum

A

issues with normal social functioning

43
Q

Praeder- Willi

A

overeating, insatiable hunger, knockout of paternal gener

44
Q

Fragile X

A

intellectual, inherited disorder

45
Q

Cerebral Palsy

A

movement disorder

46
Q

Down’s syndrome

A

intellectual, random mutation

47
Q

Rhett’s disorder

A

degeneration after 6-18 months

48
Q

Angelman’s

A

severe intellectual impairments (can’t talk, etc.) but are sweet and “angel-like”

49
Q 
anterior vs posterior
rostral vs caudal
medial vs lateral
dorsal vs ventral
ipsilateral vs contralateral
proximal vs distal
A 
front vs back
beak vs tail
middle vs side
back vs stomach
same side vs opposite side
close vs far
50
Q
