Outline 15 Neurology

Question 1

All behavior is __________

Answer 1

biological

Question 2

What is behavior?

Answer 2

What we can observe → movement, language, speech, eye gaze, facial expression) and can’t observe (emotions, attitudes, thoughts) is all neurological

Question 3

T/F Who we are and what we think, feel, and how we react is all neuro

Answer 3

True

Question 4

What are the two pioneers of the brain? where were they from?

Answer 4

1860’s
Broca in France
Wernicke in Germany

noticed that specific areas of the brain, when injured, resulted in specific deficits and specific behaviors

Question 5

what is ONE OF THE RULES OF NEURO?

Answer 5

Doesn’t matter if your left- or right-handed or what your culture or gender is, our brains are mapped out the same way

•i.e. injury in the same part of the brain in two different people will result in the same deficit

Question 6

what is Behavioral symptomatology?

Answer 6

– if it’s a symptom it isn’t normal behavior

Question 7

T/F Behavioral symptomatology & lesion sites are unpredictable

Answer 7

FALSE, predictable

If a specific area of the brain is affected by disease or accident then, a particular set of behaviors are to follow

Question 8

What is Wernicke’s area responsible for? where is it located

Answer 8

language

located in the temporal lobe–more sensory

Question 9

What is Broca’s area responsible for? where is it located

Answer 9

Speech

Located in the motor strip

Question 10

What is neuroscience?

Answer 10

Term that includes both neuroanatomy and neurophysiology

Focus on the brain and CNS

Question 11

T/F There is an anatomical division in CNS & PNS

Answer 11

true

Question 12

What is CNS comprised of?

Answer 12

There is an anatomical division in CNS & PNS

Question 13

What is PNS comprised of?

Answer 13

oEverything else*
oNerves that exit the cranium (skull) and spinal column
o12 Cranial Nerves**
•We are directly involved with these nerves as SLPs
o31 Spinal nerves
•Breathing control → cervical nerves
•We also care about our patients paralysis and paresis

Question 14

VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING WE HAVE COMES IN __________

Answer 14

Pairs

Question 15

What is the function of the SENSOR in the nervous system

Answer 15

The most important function**
oThis is how we perceive and understand the world we live in
oIncoming information from our body
oSensory modalities
•Touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight

Question 16

What is the function of the MOTOR in the nervous system

Answer 16

“Effector” → it moves us, it creates behavior

Question 17

What is the function of the INTEGRATOR in the nervous system

Answer 17

Processing; incoming data processes this
oFacial expressions, tone of voice
oImportant to us because with ASD have this difficulty

Question 18

What is the function of the REGULATOR in the nervous system

Answer 18

Processing; incoming data processes this
oFacial expressions, tone of voice
oImportant to us because with ASD have this difficulty

Question 19

How many CN are there? Name them.

Answer 19

On Old Olympus Towering Top A Famous Vocal German Viewed Some Hops.

olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal accessory, hypoglossal

Some say marry money but my brother says big brains matter more

Question 20

What CNs are brain direct?

Answer 20

• Olfactory (CN I)
• Optic (CN II)

oEverything else exits the brainstem

Question 21

Primarily CNs are either sensory or motor, however, some are mixed. Which are sensory, motor, and which are both?

Answer 21

S - sensory (olfactory nerve - CN I)
S - sensory (optic nerve - CN II)
M - motor (oculomotor nerve - CN III)
M - motor (trochlear nerve - CN IV)
B - both (trigeminal nerve - CN V)
M - motor (abducens nerve - CN VI)
B - both (facial nerve - CN VII)
S - sensory (vestibulocochlear nerve - CN VIII)
B - both (glossopharyngeal nerve CN IX)
B - both (vagus nerve - CN X)
M - motor (spinal accessory nerve - CN XI)
M - motor (hypoglossal nerve - CN XII)

Question 22

How many spinal nerves are there?

Answer 22

31

They tend to be mixed and not separated as motor and sensory

Question 23

What are the two main functional divisions of PNS ?

Answer 23

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

Somatic Nervous System (SNS)

Question 24

Explain Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Answer 24

o Unconscious NS,
o Digestion, heart-rate, BP, breathing
o Sympathetic ANS speeds us up
o Parasympathetic ANS slows us down

Question 25

Explain Somatic Nervous System (SNS)

Answer 25

o Unconscious NS,
o Digestion, heart-rate, BP, breathing
o Sympathetic ANS speeds us up
o Parasympathetic ANS slows us down
