- B) Spinocerebellum
- C) Cerebrocerebellum
- D) Parieto-Occipitotemporal Area
A- vestibulocerebellum
-
Multiple Choice: What neurotransmitter is involved in inhibitory signal transmission between the substantia nigra and the putamen?
- A) Glutamate
- B) Dopamine
- C) GABA

Matching: Match the basal ganglia circuit with its function:
- A) Putamen Circuit
- B) Caudate Circuit
- Functions:
1) Controls complex movement patterns like typing.
2) Generates rapid, subconscious movement patterns.
Putamen–> 1) controls complex movement patterns
Caudate –>. rapid, subconscious movement patterns
. True/False: The basal ganglia serves as an accessory motor system to facilitate learned movement patterns.
True
. Fill-in-the-Blank: Reflexes and rhythmic movements are controlled at the __________ level of the motor system
spinal cord
Multiple Choice: Which part of the brain interacts with the spinal cord to enhance stretch reflexes and maintain equilibrium?
- A) Motor Cortex
- B) Cerebellum
- C) Limbic System
- D) Basal Ganglia
B- Cerebellum
-
Multiple Choice: Which association area of the brain is responsible for interpreting visual, auditory, and somatosensory information?
- A) Limbic Association Area
- B) Prefrontal Association Area
- C) Parieto-Occipitotemporal Association Area
- D) Motor Cortex
C- parieto-occipitotemporal
True/False: The corpus callosum allows bidirectional communication between the two cerebral hemispheres.
Fill-in-the-Blank: Layers I & II of the cerebral cortex are primarily responsible for __________.
Receiving diffuse input for excitability control
Matching: Match the brain layer with its function:
- A) *Layers II & III
- B) Layers V & VI
- Functions:
1) Send signals across hemispheres via the corpus callosum.
2) Send motor signals to the spinal cord.
Layers II & III– Send signals across hemispheres via the corpus callosum
Layers V & VI – Send motor signals to the spinal cord.
True/False: Memory consolidation involves the conversion of short-term memory into long-term memory through repeated activation and synaptic changes.
true
