NEURO Reviewer Flashcards
Facial processing is in this pathway
Parvocellular
Recognition & discrimination of visual shapes & objects
Ventral
Spatial awareness
Dorsal
Also known as “Where” stream
Dorsal
It is only in this part of the visual pathway that impulses from corresponding points of two retinal meet
Visual Cortex
Information from the contralateral eye goes to what layer?
Layers 1,4,6
These layers of LGN receive signals that travel by the parvocellular pathway
Layer 3-6
Flattened structure above pituitary fossa
Optic chiasma
This type of fibes passes straight into temporal part of optic disc
Macular Fibers
This is responsible for the visually-guided behavior
Dorsal
Large cells pass to through this pathway
Magnocellular
This is in charge for the movement perception
Magnocellular
Lesion this part will result to congruous homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing
Visual Cortex
Lesions on this part will give rise to incongruous homonymous hemianopia
Optic Tracts
Bitemporal & Binasal hemianopia could be seen if the px has a lesion on this part
Optic Chiasma
It is also known as the “What” stream
Ventral
Pie on the sky type of defect could be seen if this area has a lesion
Optic Radiations
Baums & Meyers loop are both alternative name of this
Optic Radiations
These fibers pass above & below as arcuate fibers
Temporal Fibers
Lesions of this area will lead to congruous homonymous macular defect
Visual Cortex
Triad of Horner’s syndrome
- Miosis
- Ptosis
- Anhidrosis
2 major muscles responsible for pupil reactions
- Dilator pupillae muscle
- Sphincter pupillae muscle
3 types of Reflexes
- Light reflex
- Near reflex
- Darkness reflex
Synkinesis of near reflex
- Accommodation
- Convergence
- Miosis
Enumerate the Afferent Pathway Defects
- Total Afferent Pathway Defect (TAPD)
- Relative Afferent Pathway Defect (RAPD)
Enumerate Efferent Pathway Defects
- Adie’s Tonic Pupil
- Argyll Robertson Pupil (ARP)
- Horner’s syndrome (Oculosympathetic Paresis)?
less common type of hemorrhagic stoke
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
second type of hemorrhagic stroke
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
most common type of hemorrhagic stroke
Intracerebral hemorrhage
fatty deposits form a clot
Plaque
medical term for severely reduced blood flow
Ischemia
medical term for tissue death
Infarction
