This Brain Groove contains V1 and divides upper and lower visual fields.
What is the Calcarine Fissure?
100
The Precentral Gyrus contains this brain area.
What is Primary Motor (M1)?
100
Mice have more neurons to glia than humans.
What is True?
100
Neuronal genes such as Voltage Gated Sodium Channels are present in many single cell ancestors.
What is True?
100
This stain will completely fill a neuron, but only stains sparsely.
What is the Golgi Stain?
200
This Brain Region lies underneath the sylvian/lateral fissure.
What is the insula?
200
This gyrus sits directly superior to the corpus callosum.
What is the cingulate gyrus?
200
This method of cell labeling better captures astrocyte morphology than staining for GFAP.
What is expressing a fluorophore under astrocyte specific promoter? (Astorcyte Specific Golgi Stain also OK)
200
True or False. An squid has both a segmented and bilateral nervous system.
What is False?
200
This brain area is located in the parahippocampal gyrus directly anterior/rostral to the hippocampus.
What is the amygdala?
300
This Sulci seperates SPL from S1.
What is the postcentral sulcus?
300
These Frontal Lobe Gyri were destroyed in Phineas Gage's accident.
What are Frontal Pole Some (MFG, OFC, IFG, SFG)?
300
These two glial cells tile the brain.
What are Astrocytes and Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells
300
Most invertebrate neurons have this morphological characteristic.
What is Monopolar?
300
This method can be used to trace cells retrograde monosynaptic connections.
What is modified Rabies Virus?
400
This Sulci marks the caudal/posterior edge of the paracentral lobule.
What is the Cingulate Sulcus?
400
Damage to the fusiform gyrus would impair recognition of these.
What is faces and words?
400
This glial cell type makes up about 10% of the human brain.
What is microglia?
400
These genes control development of segments in segmented invertebrates.
What are Hox genes?
400
The locus coeruleus produces this modulatory neurotransmitter.
What is Norepinephrine?
500
The Frontal Eye Fields are located at the intersection of these two Sulci.
What are the Superior Frontal Sulcus and the Precentral Sulcus?
500
This gyrus sits at the juncture of the Interperietal Sulcus and Transverse Occipital Sulcus.
What is the Angular Gyrus?
500
These two Glial Cell Types develop from the same progenitor cells as neurons.
What are Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes?
500
This phylum of invertebrates has species whose brains' contain a primitive basal ganglia.
What is Arthropods?
500
This white matter tract connecting the amygdala to the frontal lobe was likely damaged in Phineas gages' brain.
What is the Uncinate Fasciculus?
