inattentive and undermotivated

Answer 19

only allows goal directed movements

without it you do random motions –> choreoform movements

Question 20

Folic Acid Deficiency

Answer 20

dialysis, heavy smokers, pregnancy, celiac disease

Question 21

Beta sleep waves

Answer 21

13+ Hz
symmetric on both sides and most active in frontal lobe
closely linked to motor behavior but is attenuated with motor behavior

Question 22

Seen in Active/Busy/Anxious thinking

Answer 22

low amplitude, with multiple, varying frequencies,
seen in active concentration
look for Rhythmic beta w/ dominant set of frequencies assoc w/ various pathologies and drug effects –> BZD

Delta waves

Answer 23

highest amplitude, lowest wave length
normally seen in babies
seen focally in subcortical lesions
and in gen distribution w/ diffuse lesions, metabolic encephalopathy, or deep midline lesions

Theta waves

Answer 24

younger children, seen in medication that makes you drowsy

seen in creative states
