According to Piaget, starting from birth until 2 years of age, a child undergoes a sensorimotor stage of cognitive development. The child achieves object permanence, which is the main ___ of this stage, by the end of the stage by perceiving the objects to exist independent of the child’s involvement in them. Before this period, the child is unable to understand that the primary caregiver exists even when she is out of sight.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is ___ prone to motion artifacts as compared to magnetoencephalography (MEG) as EEG requires the use of scalp electrodes. EEG measures extraneuronal current flow as compared to MEG that measures intraneuronal current flow. MEG provides a direct measurement of the ongoing function of normal neurons and can pinpoint the location of malfunctioning neurons; MEG is reference free; its signals are not attenuated by bone. MEG helps pinpoint the origin of epileptic discharges without intracranial insertion of electrodes; when implantation of intracranial electrodes are necessary, MEG can help better plan the exact implantation site. EEG has poor spatial resolution as compared to MEG which has a better spatial resolution. EEG is less expensive than MEG, which requires a more expensive hardware as well as a magnetically shielded room. EEG is unable to measure activity in the subcortical structures, neither is MEG.

Q

The Moro reflex (or startle reflex) typically disappears by ___ of age. It is a primitive reflex that can be observed in infants during the first 3 months of life. Its absence during the neonatal period and early infancy is important diagnostically and may signal damage to the brain or spinal cord. Its persistence beyond 6 months may signal a neurological disorder as well. To elicit the Moro reflex, the infant is held suspended in supine and symmetrical position with one of the examiner’s hands behind the chest and the other supports the head. The infant’s head is held in a midline position and is dropped back a few centimeters. The expected initial response includes the abduction of the upper limbs at the shoulder and forearm extension, and a slight extension of the spine and head retraction. As the reflex ends, the infant draws his arms back to the body, elbows flexed, and then relaxes.

Q

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with the deficiency of
__ neurotransmitter or deficiency in dopamine neurotransmitter receptor cites in the frontal part of the brain. Dopamine is involved in stimulating the frontal lobes which on EEG is represented as beta waves demonstrating activity and theta waves demonstrating inactivity. In children with ADHD, there is an increased theta to beta waves ratio due to deficiency of dopamine. Presence of theta waves is implicated in relaxation and beta waves are implicated in concentration, so in children with ADHD, a state of daydreaming or drowsiness and difficulty concentrating or problem solving is due to the increase in theta and reduced beta waves.

A

dopamine

Fetus can hear sounds in utero. Visual perception at birth is poor and young infants require several months to achieve a coordinated gaze. The social smile is not fully developed until the ___ month of life. Synaptic development continues for many years as described below. Two different mechanisms guide the development of the central nervous system. Molecular signals initially guide developing neurons to the correct position and, once neuronal activity begins, repeated stimulation helps synapses form and mature. By the time a child is 3 years old, the brain has formed about 1,000 trillion connections-about twice as many as adults have. A toddler’s brain is superdense and will stay that way throughout the first decade of life. Through early childhood to young adulthood, the brain gets rid of extra connections in a process called pruning.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is similar to MRI in terms that it uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves to assess functional aspects of brain in neurodevelopmental disorders. MRS forms a spectrum based on the sensitivity of ___ to distinct resonance frequencies. MRS is a non-invasive modality that is used to assess brain function. MRS can only detect a limited number of chemical compounds based on their radiofrequencies. MRS is not as commonly used as MRIs and is usually used as a tool in research to determine the chemical composition of the brain. MRS uses proton signature of specific chemicals to detect their concentration in the tissues like lactate, creatine, aspartate, and choline to produce a spectrum.
