Study Notes
Clinical Neuroscience Questions and Answers
- Hemispatial neglect is most commonly associated with damage to the right parietal lobe.
- Balint's syndrome involves: difficulty in visually attending to multiple objects, loss of depth perception.
- The primary neurotransmitter involved in depression is serotonin.
- In PTSD, the brain structure most significantly affected by hyperactivation is the amygdala.
- Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is characterized by distinct facial dysmorphology and enlarged brain volume. It's also marked by accelerated developmental milestones.
- Anosognosia refers to a patient's unawareness of a deficit or condition.
- The ventralmedial prefrontal cortex is primarily responsible for sensory information integration in hemispatial neglect.
Additional Questions and Answers
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is most commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents.
- A patient with Balint's syndrome is most likely to have simultanagnosia (difficulty recognizing multiple objects at once) and spatial disorientation.
- Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the best neuroimaging technique for detecting white matter abnormalities in TBI.
- The dopamine neurotransmitter system is most disrupted in Parkinson's disease.
- The default mode network (DMN) is typically active during rest or introspection.
- Persistent headaches are a major symptom of post-concussion syndrome.
- Atrophy of the hippocampus and amygdala are often observed in depression.
