NEURO-BEHMED Flashcards
Sleep Stage
Eyelids begin to drop, Muscles start to Relax Loss of ALPHA WAVES Presence of VERTEX SHARP WAVES but no sleep spindles Lasts for 5 to 10 minutes
Stage 1 NREM
Sleep Stage
Presence of HIGH VOLTAGE VERTEX WAVES WITH SLEEP SPINDLES (7 to 14 Hz lasting for 0.5 secs)
Lasts for 15 to 30 minutes
Stage 2 NREM
Sleep stage aka DEEP SLEEP
>50% occupied by high voltage delta waves
Lasts 30 to 45 minutes
Stage 3 NREM
Sleep stage
Low voltage intermixed cerebral activity with absent muscle tone
(+) Saw tooth waves
Appears 90-100 minutes in young adults
State of paradoxical sleep which means your metabolic activity brain function is similar to the in wakefulness
REM
Low voltage intermixed cerebral activity with absent muscle tone but rapid eye movement
HORNERY’S SYNDROME
3 characteristics
Ptosis
Myosis
Anhidrosis
Imaging Studies of Alzheimer’s
CSF Studies of Alzheimer’s
Imaging:
Diffuse Cortical Atrophy
Hippocampal Atrophy
CSF:
BETA AMYLOID
PHOSPHORYLATED TAU
Pathology of Alzheimer’s
Neuritic Plaques (amyloid beta peptides accumulating extracellularly) Neurofibrillary tangles (abnormally phosphorylated tau protein which accumulates intracellularly)
Which motor cortex is involved in sensory guidance of movement, controls the more proximal muscles and trunk muslces
Premotor Cortex
Which motor cortex generates neural impulses that control the execution of movement
Primary motor cortex
Which motor cortex is involved in transforming visual information into motor commands
Posterior Parietal Cortex
Which motor cortex is involved in the planning of complex movements and coordinating two-handed movements like typing
Supplementary Motor Area
Charcot’s Triad
Multiple Sclerosis - Charcot’s Triad
Nystagmus
scanning speech
intention tremor
Disease that results in demyelination and axonal degeneration of the brain and spinal cord
Multiple Sclerosis
1st or earliest manifestation of MS
Optic Neuritis
Define the UHTHOFF PHENOMENON
a reversible exacerbation of neurological symptoms following an increase in body temperature ex. exercise, warm bath, fever
Presence of Multiple Oligoclonal Bands in CSF and their absence in the blood is highly suggestive of ________
Multiple Sclerosis
Parasympathetic vs Sympathetic In terms of: Nerves - Alin ang T5-L2? innervation - alin ang direct/indirect? Where does sympathetic start? neurotransmitter? alin ang stimulatory? aling ang inhibitory?
T5-L2 - Sympathetic direct - para distal 1/2 of large intestine to anus and para Para - Ach Sympa - NE para - stimulatory (IKR baliktad) hahaha ^cos it stimulates Secretory and Motor Activity Slide 366 of Jasshin ppt
