hippocampus

Question 1

choose which are the last abilities to mature in humans are:
- vocabulary
- processing speed
- long-term memory
- working memory

Answer 1

working memory and processing speed

Question 2

which fucntion doesnt decline with the aging of hyppocampus
- vocabulary
- processing speed
- long-term memory
- working memory

Answer 2

vocabulary

Question 3

how does the hippocampus age?
- get smaller
- retains same number of neurons
- retrieval gets weaker
- LPT doesnt last as long and isn’t strong as before

Answer 3

• retrieval gets weaker
• LPT doesnt last as long and isn’t strong as before

Question 4

cerebrospanial fluit is produced by…
- pyramidal cells
- pericytes
- ependymal cells
- granule cells
- neurons
- endothelial cells
- basket cells
- granule cells

Answer 4

ependymal cells

line ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord

Question 5

define alzehimers

Answer 5

lost of neurons in various brain regions

Question 6

first region affected by alzehimer’s is…
- frontal cortex
- cerebellum
- hippocamous
- temporal ortex
- parietal cortex
- limbic system
- amigdala
- striatum

Answer 6

hippocamus

ccerebral cortex degentation comes after hippocampus

Question 7

choose the symptoms of alzeheimer disease:
- see patterns in things
- memory loss
- can’t process and perceive stimuli
- can’t construct their own form of language
- loss spontaneity
- speech problem
- trouble handling money
- poor judgment
- can’t create new memories
- loossing/misplacing things
- problems with response inhibition
- amnesia
- getting lost

Answer 7

• memory loss
• loss spontaneity
• trouble handling money
• poor judgement
• loosing/misplacing things
• getting loss

Question 8

in alzehimer’s patients ventricles are enlarge because…

Answer 8

cerebrospinal fluid has taken up the space of the tissue cortex

Question 9

which two drugs are use to treat alzehimer’s disease:
endomorphins
memantine (Ebixa)
methylphenidate
SSRI
fluoxetine
acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

Answer 9

memantine and acetycholinesterase inhibitors

Question 10

which cells are the first lost in alzheimer:
- motor neurons
- basket cells
- stellate cells
- acetylcholinergic neurons
- bipolar cells
- interneurons
- glutamatergic neurons
- pyramidal neurons

Answer 10

acetylcholinergic neurons

Question 11

function of acetylacholineric neurons:
- transmit sensory informations
- reegulate basal ganglia
- regulate the hippocampus
- encode a field place
- learn about reward

Answer 11

regulate the hippocampus

Question 12

how does memantine and acetylcholinerase inhibitors work?

Answer 12

• memantine block NMDA (glutamate) receptors and slows diwn the exitotoxicity
• acetylcholinesterase inhibitors block the breakdown of acetylcholine, mitigating its lost

Question 13

brain cholinergic ssytem is composed of…
- striatum and hippocamous
- basal forebrain and brainsteam tegmentum
- amygdala, hypothalamus, fornix and thalamus
- mammalial bodies, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex

Answer 13

basal forebrain and brainsteam tegmentum

Question 14

neuromodulatory functions of brain cholineric system are

Answer 14

memory, cognition, and arousal

Question 15

nucleus basalis of MEynert is the last thing to die in Alzheimer disease: true or false

Answer 15

false

nucleus basalis of Meynert is the firsrt region to die in Alzheimer dise

Question 16

what’s terminal lucidity

Answer 16

significant return of some memories
