Intro To Neuropharmacology

Question 1

Three main parts of brain

Answer 1

Fore brain(cerebrum and diencephalon)
Brain Stem(mid brain,pons,medulla)
Cerebellum

Question 2

What separates frontal lobe from parietal lobe

Answer 2

Central sulcus

Question 3

Voluntary motor function is subserved by

Answer 3

Pre-central gyrus of frontal lobe

Question 4

Sensory function lies in the

Answer 4

Postcentral gyrus of parietal lobe

Question 5

Collective term given to bilateral masses of deeply sited gray matter

Answer 5

BASAL GANGLIA

Question 6

Epithalamus consists of

Answer 6

Habenualr nuclei an pineal gland

Question 7

First part of brainstem that is directly continuous with spinal cord

Answer 7

Medulla oblongata

Question 8

Nuclei within medulla oblongata

Answer 8

For CN 5,9,10,11,12
Here motor and some sensory fibers cross

Question 9

—— can be viewed as a relay center between cerebellum,the brain and PNS

Answer 9

PONS

Question 10

Nuclei within pons

Answer 10

for cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII
motor nuclei in the pontine reticular formation

Question 11

Motor nuclei within pons role

Answer 11

Postural , cvs and respiratory control

Question 12

Location of cerebellum and it’s connections

Answer 12

Posterior to pons
Afferent and efferent connections lies within spinal cord tract

Question 13

A network of neurons with diffuse dendritic connections

Answer 13

Reticular formation

Question 14

This neuronal Network occupies midline of brainstem

Answer 14

Reticular Formation

Question 15

Organization of reticular formation

Answer 15

Loosely organized into 3 longitudinal nuclear columns i.e Median,medial and lateral
Subdivided into 3 ventrocaudally
Mesencephalic,pontine, medullary

Question 16

Reticular formation receives input from (1N,BIG HYP BELL COR)

Answer 16

Ascending sensory neurons, cerebellum,basal ganglia, hypothalamus,cerebral cortex

Question 17

Reticular formation gives out to all of these except
Hypothalamus, thalamus,spinal cord,cerebrum

Answer 17

Cerebrum

Question 18

Motor, sensory (pain) and autonomic functions are performed by

Answer 18

Reticular formation

Question 19

The nonspecific alerting function of reticular formation is related to

Answer 19

Ascending reticulothalamocortical
Pathway(ascending reticular activating system)

Question 20

Amygdala is functionally a part of

Answer 20

Limbic system

Question 21

Lesion of amygdala causes

Answer 21

Placidity (absence is of agitation and excitement)

Question 22

Amnesia is caused by

Answer 22

Lesion of mammillary bodies as in Korsakoff’s syndrome or with lesion of temporal lobe

Question 23

Lesion of posterior hypothalamus results in

Answer 23

Rage(violent or uncontrollable anger)

Question 24

Basal ganglia control motor function by

Answer 24

An effect on cerebral hemispheres

Question 25

Basal ganglia has afferent and efferent connections with

Answer 25

Forebrain(cerebrum and thalamus , subthalamus)
Brainstem

Question 26

The largest component of basal ganglia is

Answer 26

Corpus striatum

Question 27

Corpus striatum has 2 nuclei namely

Answer 27

Caudate nucleus
Lentiform nucleus (putamen and globus pallidus)

Question 28

Midbrain ends in two huge fiber bundles which form the

Answer 28

Cerebral peduncles
